Description:
The Headwaters Eco Lodge is in the stunning village of Glenorchy.
Surrounded by lush mountain trails, glacier-fed lakes, and braided river valleys.
New Zealand’s award-winning Eco Lodge and 2024 Tourism Awards Finalist for the environment.
Come and experience the lodge and our cosy chalets located in Glenorchy, a spectacularly beautiful township at the head of Lake Whakatipu.
Our state-of-the-art buildings, including the impressive lodge, dining room, living areas and large, artist-crafted meeting and entertainment room - alongside individual chalets - have evolved and grown over the years. They are an exemplary international showcase of regenerative design and beautifully comfortable accommodations that create restorative experiences for guests.
