The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp

The best place to stay in Glenorchy & Queenstown, so good I extended my stay! Well designed, Awesome Hosts, can’t wait to come back and do some of their curated experiences!

We stayed at the Base Camp over the holidays and a month or so later, I continue to revisit the experience my wife and I had there and the incredible joy it brought us. It was humbling and awe inspiring to have the privilege to be among some of the most spectacular nature in the world. The two-day hiking trip we did with Doug was nothing short of magical - it felt like an incredible gift. And the base camp was equally special in it's own right, imbued as it is with Liz's warmth and hospitality (not to mention wonderful food). But as much as anything, the opportunity to connect with such great people, including Doug and Liz but also the fellow travelers we met, really set the experience apart. There are lots of incredible places in the world, but nothing is as memorable or meaningful as creating connections with other people, and Doug and Liz have created a very special environment to do that. We're so grateful we had the opportunity to experience this amazing place in such a special way.

One of the best places we stayed in New Zealand was the Alpine Base Camp. The cabins are cozy and well-designed. Liz and Doug exude Kiwi hospitality and FUN, they really want you to enjoy what they've built and the surroundings, they have such love and appreciation for the mountains and Glenorchy. A nice fire was prepared, we had an amazing sauna, and I still dream about Liz's excellent meal - it was mouth-watering delicious. We wish we stayed longer.

Great place, very good food! We spent an evening there meeting very interesting people for food and conversations. The rooms looked lovely by we did not stay there. The whole concept is based on open communication and people meeting there. Staff super nice and the owners too!
