Amazing, isolated location. Appreciate how they cater to all price points - I was in a dorm, but still delightful. Bathrooms were great, warm showers with soap. Kitchen was under renovations but I’m sure it’ll be great too and they have a few picnics tables that would be fantastic in the summer. Tons of amazing hikes near by. Hot tub was out of this world nice. No better place to stay if you want to do some big hikes but not camp
Located 28 mi from Queenstown, Camp Glenorchy offers accommodations in Glenorchy, surrounded by mountain views. The Headwaters Eco Lodge is New Zealand's first net zero sustainable property.

Everything! - nice and clean house + beautiful view of the mountain.
This lakefront eco-property is located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, just a 25-minute scenic drive from Queenstown and 15-minutes drive from Glenorchy.
Small town. Great general store. Cafe kitchens dont open till 12 so its just coffee n cabinet food till then.
Epic views and good walks to do.
Ate at Mr Glen's Taphouse - great coffee and cabinet food.
Recommend walk around boardwalk and lagoon.
Need a 4WD if going to Paradise - river crossings.

The Glenorchy wharf is a perfect little spot to enjoy some local beer from the pub that sells takeaway bottles! Absolutely perfect, we loved it. Just relaxed on the wharf and had couple drinks and a walk alongside the lagoon area.
Lovely coffee at the local general store!
Awesome little local pub and just a beautiful spot to relax for a night if in between places and wanting to chill before the chaotic Queenstown

Glenorchy was a convenient place to start and finish our tramping trips. It is a pleasant town on its own merits, but for this trip it was just an accommodation and meal place to start and finish our recreation in the backcountry

We are glad that we stayed in Glenorchy and not in crowded Queenstown. It was easy to get around and has a great small-town vibe.
We hiked the Mt. Judah trail and in peak season, we only saw 3 people and a dog. The view of Lake Wakatipu and Glenorchy was breathtaking. To compare, we hiked Roy’s Peak in Wanaka and saw at least 100 people on the trail, and while we did not go to the very top, I think that Mt. Judah was much prettier and interesting with the old scheelite processing shed and views of a forested river gorge. We also had a chance to see part of the Glenorchy Horse Races which was very festive and entertaining. The Paradise Zipline adventure is just a few minutes from Glenorchy and we agree that it was definitely one not to miss. The guides were safety-oriented, so you are in good hands. We were also treated to a nature talk as we hiked uphill a short distance through a beech-dominated forest. A series of 8 ziplines zigzag across and through a spectacular forested river gorge. Awesome!
We stayed in the lodge and immediately became enamored with its history and charm. Restoration was ongoing during our stay, but wasn't a bother at all. We were able to enjoy the brand-new wallpaper, exceptional bedding, and two enormous shared bathrooms. The water cart was always fresh outside our room, and the hot drink station was terrific in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, eaten while looking out over the lake with sunrise peeking over the mountains. That was magical.
I normally don’t do many reviews but I thought I would add some comments.My review is not aimed directly at the hotel but purely giving my opinion about the way I viewed my stay which may well be very different to others. The property is clearly a high quality build and no expense has been spared on the Ecco detail.
Beautiful surroundings, attentive staff, outstanding view of the mountains and lake Wakatipu. It’s a short 3 minute drive to Glenorchy town. You could walk but it is along a highway. If you get a chance, drive the extra 30 minutes to paradise and then another 20 minutes through the Ford’s and back country. JUST WOW
This was the best place we have stayed at during our 5 month vacation in NZ! It was so warm, inviting, and easy to live in. It has literally everything we needed, even a coffee machine and washer/dryer!! The hosts are so lovely! I highly recommend this place for your time in Queenstown/Glenorchy!!
Easy booking and arrival, super clean and convenient to be able to stay in Glenorchy for an event. Very Old but an effort has been made on presentation in the room. Appreciate that they've stayed open during a very quiet time during Covid and the option to stay is still available.
The Eco Lodge is a very comfortable accommodation in an amazing location. The rooms and common spaces are all very well maintained. Staff were very kind and helpful; we especially liked the free morning yoga. Breakfast and dinner were very solid, but nothing to write home about.
This was our 4th time staying here. The Heritage Rooms have been upgraded, along with the bathrooms and all the common areas. We like that one has to make an effort to find the Lodge. The staff of young people put in long days and are always pleasant.
Eco-friendly in so many different inventive ways! amazing smelling shampoo and conditioner. great tea. lovely breakfast. great location. cool decor. nice staff. super tasty strong barista coffee included at breakfast.
Self contained studio in a quiet setting, a short drive from town. Comfortable bed, good shower and well equipped. Glenorchy was lovely, although sad to see a few businesses no longer operating.
Great place to stay! Beautiful location, great hosts, easy to find and get in, and fully worth the price. Would absolutely recommend it, and hope to stay again sometime in the future!
One of the best accomodations I ve ever stayed at and the view is priceless. Highly recommend to everyone out there. Just one word to describe that is "Paradise"
A very clean, comfortable unit to stay in, loved the little extras. Within walking distance to everything Glenorchy had to offer, would love to stay again.
