The hotel is great. I stayed for five nights. Needless to say, the environment is very good. The facilities are well maintained and very environmentally friendly. The food and drinks are good. The fruit quality is good. The service is in place. The shower time setting of 7 minutes is too short, but it is necessary because it is an environmentally friendly design. Support it

價格挺貴的，住下來覺得不值這個錢，但可能是那裡算比較好的住宿的原因吧，衹能當是一種體驗了。環境景色還是可以的，晚餐出品非常不錯。沒有吹風機，説是要跟前台要，環保原因洗澡是限時的，要等一會才能再洗，就這兩點坑了我一下。

Our family really enjoyed staying at the Headwaters Eco Lodge. Incredible surroundings in the small scenic town located in the most beautiful part of the world. The staff is very friendly and does so many things around the property. The dinner is definitely the best meal in town, so highly recommend at least one dinner on the property. Highlight of our trip to New Zealand!

Very expensive for the fact that you had a timed shower - 8 minutes. Smacks of why water restrictions given proximity to lake. Question - do locals have timed showers? Not sure re use of compost toilets given that septic system for whole site with recycled water system could have been effective.
Food was great.

Brilliant stay in a one-of-a-kind property
Brilliant stay in a one-of-a-kind property. It is by far the "greenest" accommodation you'll ever encounter, and the touches of creative artistry, luxury, and fantastic kitchen will push it over the top. Built of largely reclaimed materials and powered by the sun, The Headwaters is a place to remember. From the abundant breakfast to morning yoga to the local art that abounds everywhere, you'll never want for comfort and entertainment. Don't expect bellhops, TV, and room service. DO expect cheery help, a free laundromat, and a relaxing environment in a tiny but scenic town. It's pricey, but bucket-list-worthy.

A fantastic lodge in a beautiful location. We choose the hotel based on excellent reviews. The room was beautiful and the staff very friendly but at times not enough of them. They tried to do everything to make our stay amazing. On our first evening we ordered pre dinner drinks but they never came. Breakfast was brilliant, a large choice and all delicious. Dinner was great but it would have been nice to see the menu in advance so we can pick out any dislikes. We stayed for two nights and the menu was very similar. Turkey with chestnuts both nights with seasonal veg. Dessert came with coconut and miso gelato both nights too. Not great when two out of three in our party don’t like nights. On the Christmas Eve special event the canapés weren’t suitable for vegetarians and the side of vegetables arrived as we were finishing. We would return as the setting was beautiful and the philosophy is wonderful. The serving staff just need more support when it’s busy. Loved the laundry room to refresh some clothes and that they left little welcome gifts in the room. The room was spotless. Lots of nice spots to read a book or sit by a fire. Plus a good selection of wines to choose from.

My husband & I stayed here for 4 nights in October. It was a wonderful and totally unique experience in the most beautiful surroundings. Our cabin was unlike anything we had stayed in before, very cosy, comfortable with total peace and quiet. Every member of staff was friendly, professional and could not have done more. The food was also excellent at breakfast and dinner. Our thanks to the whole team. It was just perfect.
