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!
We had a multi generational family holiday at base camp, accommodated in three separate 'huts'. Base camp was a launching pad for daily doses of adventure. Each evening was a home cooked, candle lit, cast iron skillet and pot filled dinner around a long candlelit table with fresh faces or family. The accommodation was a carefully melded mix of Swedish spa, alpine hut, nordic lodge: all woodsmoke and stone, Cedar lined and feather down. We loved it. Glenorchy is a magic place and Liz and Doug were the best hosts, helping to create a magic holiday for the whole family.
Had the most spectacular stay before heading off to do the Routeburn - perfect spot to get you excited for hiking but with the luxuries of a comfy bed and fantastic food.
Alana & Katie provided impeccable & personable service - making each guest feel special and welcomed.
The whole team was great. Would happily stay here again and would recommend ☺️
We own an eco resort in the Pacific Islands, and are so impressed with this place. They get it, and offer superb and authentic experiences whether you are hiking, dining or adventuring. Book in here and you will not regret it! Well done Doug and Liz!!! Your fans from Sea Change Eco Retreat.
