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!

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.

Didn't know what to expect but in the end was very pleasantly surprised. Accommodation was first rate with very comfortable and well appointed rooms. We also had the chefs meal also great. The story behind the lodge is interesting in itself where the original developers ( Paul and Debbi Brainerd) have gifted the lodge into a charitable trust where any profits are kept in the community. The lodge looks low tech but the actual tech driving things was impressive to the point the lodge is net positive. Great stay and great story
