Had dinner at Glenorchy Base Camp.

NEED A PLACE TO STAY? - HOW ABOUT A COSY MOUNTAINEERS HUT?
Inspired by the historic mountaineer’s huts that typify the New Zealand Southern Alps, our accommodation has been created by adventurers for adventurers…
Among a host of other inclusions, we have a sauna, our popular ‘Base Camp Food Over Fire’ licensed wood-fired restaurant, fire pits, festoon lighting, Wifi (although we encourage a different kind of connection) and have gone to some trouble with the little things that we think make all the difference.

I honestly cannot recommend enough! Doug & Liz are so welcoming. Ive driven past this a million times without spotting it and took a friends recommendation to go for dinner.
The adventures seem cool but we just went for a celebration dinner and it felt like being cooked dinner at someone's home. It's gorgeous, calming, takes you out of your own world to socialize with everyone, the food was unbelievable, the atmosphere is gorgeous, would 100% recommend for a casual dinner or an event with a good few folk.
The four of us (9, 12 and 2 adults) splurged on a Glenorchy adventure and stay at Basecamp.
Basecamp is really special. Full of warmth from the firelight and the people. Doug and Liz are really quite exceptional and make everyone feel convivial and at home in a way I don't think I've experienced on holiday before. It's like eating with the family except the cooking is dramatically better! The collective children also get to eat together and play around the camp.
The adventure side of things was more than great. Jaw-dropping heli-transport. Unforgettable camping location. Spectacular camp cooking. Doug and Christian (camp magician and guide respectively) were an absolute pleasure to be with. Hugely thoughtful about making sure the kids would also love it. They went above and beyond to make sure the adventure worked for us.
Lovely people that live a life full of cool outdoor things and really want to share it with others.
Top class hospitality from the sweetest hosts. Landing in this remote corner of the planet and being warmly welcomed by Liz and her staff as if we just stepped into their personal living room was a real treat. Antique wood burning stoves and reclaimed nautical light fixtures set the tone for a restful evening with a home cooked meal painstakingly prepared by the hostess herself. We were all seated at a long farmhouse style dinner table with hand written menus and designated seating assignments to encourage mingling amongst guests at this family style dinner. It was so great to hear and share stories as we met travelers from around the world. Accommodations were equally warm and welcoming with private cabins and shared bathing facilities that are top notch with all the perfect high end designer soaps including a stunning sauna to top things off. We enjoyed every moment of our stay at The Great Glenorchy Alpine Camp.
OUR LICENSED
FOOD OVER FIRE
RESTAURANT
Technically ‘Food Over Fire’ is our licensed restaurant and at the same time we don’t quite look at it like that. It’s more like coming to dinner at our place.
Family style setting, everything is cooked over fire (very very slowly) and we do love to cook for you.
Eat with us at Base Camp
‘Food Over Fire’ is open to the public so you don’t have to stay to eat with us. Chef’s choice every night and at the same time there’s always something for everyone.
Book now to reserve a table, we look forward to meeting you.
