Headwaters Glenorchy Eco Lodge is an award-winning lodge just 45 minutes from Queenstown. At the head of Lake Whakatipu, along one of New Zealand’s most scenic drives, it’s an ideal base for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. This unforgettable and immersive lodge experience is at the heart of picturesque Glenorchy village. Explore a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of mountains, lakes and rivers, enjoy chef-prepared garden-to-plate dining and reconnect in warm and inviting shared spaces. The Homestead includes an intimate dining room, lounges and event space – your spot for guided yoga each morning. Outside, you can gather by a sheltered open fire, and gaze up at the Tāhuna Glenorchy Dark Sky Sanctuary. Premium chalets combine modern touches with rustic elegance, and center on rest and comfort. In the dining room, talented chefs prepare gourmet breakfasts and seasonal dishes using ingredients from the lodge’s organic kitchen garden, local suppliers, and foraged produce. Headwaters Glenorchy Eco Lodge is proudly designed to give back more than it takes, offering a stay with heart and soul. Built to rigorous Living Building Challenge standards, it is the first net-positive energy accommodations in New Zealand and each stay supports the Glenorchy Community Trust.
