Such a warm and welcoming experience We had such a wonderful evening at Glenorchy Base Camp for dinner. From the moment we arrived, Liz and Isla were so warm, welcoming and friendly, making us feel completely at home. The food was amazing and beautifully cooked, and there was so much of it! Everything was delicious and incredibly generous, we definitely couldn’t eat it all! Our kids absolutely loved the chocolate pudding, which was a definite highlight for them. It was such a lovely experience and something completely different from a typical restaurant dinner. A really special evening, with delicious food, generous hospitality and such a warm atmosphere. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Glenorchy.

Oh man oh man what an experience. This is New Zealand hospitality at its finest. It feels like you’re going to your best friend that you haven’t seen for ages house for dinner. I feel like if I had to sum up what New Zealand is to someone who was visiting our beautiful country then I would just send them to Liz and Doug. The camping experience, the accommodation and the shared dinner. You really can’t top that. Amazing work guys, you should be so proud with what you have created. It’s by far our most memorable time of our time in Queenstown. Thank you, thank you thank you!

This was like visiting friends we hadn’t met yet! We came for my husband’s 50th birthday. Liz and Doug made us feel so welcome. The cozy cabin was a delight - the wood burning stove is so charming, the beds were comfy and Mr tweens had a blast. Highly recommend booking a sauna session, too. The dinners were incredible and they went out of their way to make a special birthday celebration for us complete with a proper chocolate pudding. Glenorchy is a stunner - an hour and a world away from the bustle of Queenstown.

Sometimes there are places you’re lucky enough to experience in life that will have lasting impact on you long after you leave……….Glenorchy Base Camp is one of those rare places for me and my 3 kids 16, 13, 11. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The property is beautifully manicured, every space has purpose, and there’s an effortless feeling that comes from an enormous amount of care, passion, and hard work. Hosts Liz and Doug clearly created something unique that oozes passion and a stay here is hard for it to not rub off. My only negative is I booked one night not a week. Will be back as soon as possible and for a long stay.

We had the pleasure of meeting Doug and Liz to help celebrate a family members 50th Birthday. From the get go the experience was exceptionally warm and enthusiastic. This passionate group of professionals created the perfect environment for our festivities. Hand written menus and beautifully curated food set the stage for an amazing celebration. Would recommend to anyone who values a true hospitality experience to make the trek here. Chefboy approves.
