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.
We wanted a place away from busy Queenstown and we're so glad we stayed at the Great Glenorchy Alpine Basecamp. They're known for their adventure experiences, but we stayed for just a night and had a wonderful time. The cast iron dinner (made dairy free!) was delicious, but the company was more memorable. Doug, Grace, and Ned were all so kind and sincere. We hope to be back again one day to spend some more time in their slice of paradise.
We had a wonderful stay at The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp. Doug and his team are authenticity warm and welcoming hosts who clearly go out of their way to enhance each and every guest’s experience. Our cosy eco cabin with a wood-fired heater, was perfect for our small family. The shared facilities, including beautifully modern bathrooms and private sauna, well-exceeded expectations. Dinner at the Base Camp Kitchen was a highlight, featuring delicious, slow-cooked meals prepared over a wood-fired range. We weren’t sure about the communal dining environment before our stay. Thankfully, we needn’t have been concerned, as this intimate yet casual and totally relaxed dining experience became a highlight. Until now, I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere where the marketing video on the website truly reflected the experience being created for guests, day in and day out. Needless to say, all things considered - it’s a yes from us.
