酒店很棒住了五晚非常好,環境不用説了,設施維護良好非常環保,餐飲不錯水果品質可以,服務到位,就是淋浴時間設定7分鐘一個循環感覺太短,但是因為是環保設計也必須支持一下的

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。

We were quite unsure of this lodge when we first arrived - it is right on the main street of Glenorchy, and the composting toilets were most unusual. BUT - it turned out to be one of our very favorite stays during a three-week NZ visit. The rooms were rustic and luxurious all at once. The building materials and decor are all reclaimed materials, some from the earthquake that leveled Christchurch. The best part was the staff that were very helpful, warm and friendly (shoutout to Eve) and the chefs (Pete and DJ) were most memorable personalities. The food was all it was cracked up to be. The tiny town of Glenorchy was a great treat, as were the activities (hiking, jet boat experience, and ice cream tasting). Go there!

exceptionally cool lodge with amazing food. I am still dreaming about the mushroom app, and the olive oil / rosemary fresh backed bread served at dinner. A very comfortable and tasty stay in a beautiful spot.

The location is stunning. If you are looking for a piece of heaven on earth, Glenorchy is the place. The Eco Lodge is the best place to stay because it blends in with nature. The space was created with environmental preservation in mind. But I felt the connection with the place. While driving or walking in the region, I could not help but contemplate the place's beauty. If you need peace for yourself, you will find it there. Sleeping in there was better than sleeping in the most expensive hotels in the world. I found out that their sky is among the three most beautiful skies in the world. We went for a walk in the middle of the night to admire the sky. During the day, we went for walks or drove around the mountains. We started the day with a very special breakfast. The staff is friendly and very nice. The food is delicious. We also had dinner there. The chef cooked the most delicious meal. We loved it. They also have a great selection of wines. You can drive to Queenstown. We stayed there for four nights. It was the best thing I could do for myself. I almost forgot to mention the air quality, which is impressive. Also, the Headwaters' room has an air purifier machine that cleans the air inside the room, I believe by removing the CO2. I was amazed that by the second day of waking up there, I was feeling incredibly well. I think Glenorchy is the best place to reconnect, recharge, and feel happy.

We had the most amazing time at headwaters Eco Lodge, the food was amazing and the hosts so friendly and welcoming. We travelled with our 5 year old and he absolutely loved it too! We loved all the special details and Sustainability features around the lodge. Recommending this to all our friends and we’ll be back.
