I loved the peace and quiet that is hard to find these days. I had some of the best sleeps of my life there. The air is so clean. It was amazing to wake up in the morning briefing so light and easy, and without a headache. My melatonin working on its own. My body just feeling the nature and the energy of the place. One of the nights we saw the most beautiful sky. We stood out side for more than an hour looking the sky and its billions of stars. The entire area is unbelievable beautiful. The staff is amazing. The rooms have the most modern facilities. They have solar power. I wish I had it in my house now. It is another level. It was great to be in a place where they respect the nature. The most luxurious hotels in the world will not give you what you need: peace and love. Apart from that you can also enjoy the many sports activities that the area offers. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/14d75f6a-85cf-479a-9b5b-27e0992f77b6-1763494326623.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/59419d7c-8934-4d1e-8563-73075a28e806-1763494380470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/28a5782f-9dd5-4535-b1eb-5b2b1d0e5ab9-1763494425435.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### luciana Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Brilliant stay in a one-of-a-kind property Brilliant stay in a one-of-a-kind property. It is by far the "greenest" accommodation you'll ever encounter, and the touches of creative artistry, luxury, and fantastic kitchen will push it over the top. Built of largely reclaimed materials and powered by the sun, The Headwaters is a place to remember. From the abundant breakfast to morning yoga to the local art that abounds everywhere, you'll never want for comfort and entertainment. Don't expect bellhops, TV, and room service. DO expect cheery help, a free laundromat, and a relaxing environment in a tiny but scenic town. It's pricey, but bucket-list-worthy. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very expensive for the fact that you had a timed shower - 8 minutes. Smacks of why water restrictions given proximity to lake. Question - do locals have timed showers? Not sure re use of compost toilets given that septic system for whole site with recycled water system could have been effective. Food was great.

From arrival we were blown away by the beauty of the property and friendliness of the staff. We were so impressed that we weren't even unpacked and we were discussing extending our stay. We dropped one of our planned stops on our trip to NZ just to stay here longer. Besides being beautifully designed everything is done with great ecological care. Those composting toilets that I was worried about were actually pretty cool and didn't seem much different than a standard toilet. Our cabin was absolutely charming and we were so appreciative of the snacks and drinks left for us. Loved sitting in the chairs on the porch as well. Breakfast was always delicious with so many choices. (Best scrambled eggs I've ever had and the chef graciously shared the secret with me when I asked what the ingredients were.) I also really enjoyed the morning yoga offered. ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheree 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Food was amazing. ##### Cheree Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerry 17 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great breakfast and dinner.

Some love it and some hate it. Unfortunately I am in the latter group. The property is absorbently priced for what you get. Very poor value. The rooms are small there's just a small chair in the room in addition to the bed. The bed itself would not win any awards. There is no thermostat in the room and there was no way to control the heat. It was freezing in the room and even after asking the front desk two different times to have the room warmed up, nothing happened. They said it was floor heating but the flow was ice cold and it never changed. I can't remember the last time I stayed somewhere, where I didn't have control over the environment. The bathroom is a compost toilet - very unimpressed. The shower was time to a maximum of 8 minutes. Not necessarily a big deal for me because I don't spend more than that in there but I've never been anywhere that did that before. I'm glad that they want to be ecologically conscious but in my mind that means things like solar panels and reducing your cost and dependence on the system. We paid three times the average of what we paid per night on this 6 week trip. For me this was a big mistake. On the positive side the grounds are beautiful and the reception area and restaurant are very nicely decorated, and the staff was very friendly. ##### Joel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan Edwin 27 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This is the place to stay in Glenorchy!

The hotel is lovely with a few caveats. We loved the idea and the interactive part about controlling your room temperature, shower ect. Unfortunately, our room was basically next to the two lane highway coming into town and quite noisy. I also thought the staff was a little unresponsive to questions. The breakfast situation was confusing that you needed to go through the public kitchen drawers to get silverware and plates, wash them and put away. Also, there are 3 washers but only one drier. We had to stay up past 11pm in lime for it as we were leaving the next day. They have a drying room but it was filled with mildew tents drying from the campers section that the hotels guests share everything with. We stayed two nights and overall was nice, but felt one night in Glenorchy would have been plenty as all our tours and hikes left from Queenstown and we were driving back and forth on that drive just to sleep. ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > - [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > - [Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort.h6960059.Hotel-Information) > - [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > - [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > - [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > - [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Jersey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Jersey.d55539.Hotel-Destinations) > - [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > - [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > - [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > - [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > - [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > - [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > - [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > - [Bayside Holiday Units](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Bayside-Holiday-Units.h49101011.Hotel-Information) > - [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > - [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > - [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > - [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) > - [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) > - [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) ---
