This small lodge presents the very best of New Zealand luxury boutique accomodation. There had been a mix-up with our booking but it was quickly sorted to our advantage and we spent a very relaxed couple of days with the place to ourselves. The rooms are beautiful and the beds incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was sumptuous and they serve REAL TEA... More

We arrived late, having spent more time hiking than planned. OUr keys and a welcome letter were left out along with two gigantic cookie and cake plates. We felt most welcome. OUr room was comfortable and the feature of the house is Toni, the hostess. She made our breakfasts and sent us hiking with plans for dinner- a boat ride... More

As one of the recent negative reviewers stated, the reviews of Glenorchy Lake House may have more to do with expectations than the actual experience of staying here. The owners do run the Kinloch Lodge on the other side of the lake, so it is true that depending on when you arrive, you may have to get the key in... More

If you are looking for 5 star luxury accommodation with an enthusiastic host to welcome you on arrival, located in a venue that has suitably supporting eateries in the evenings, then give this place a miss!

The breakfasts were fabulous and afternoon tea A real delight. Glenorchy is a wonderful place to base yourself for walks and activities... More

The layout out of the property and the rooms sense of specialness. That the property is hosted and offers a full concierge service and our hosts are passionate about offering hospitality. The quality... More

Sadly we were only able to stay in this lovely B&B for 2 nights - we would have stayed longer. There are only two rooms - and together they have sole use of a luxurious lounge and full kitchen and dining room. The room we stayed in (king ensuite) has it's own entrance from the garden with a small deck,... More

We booked to stay at the Glenorchy Lake House for 2 nights immediately after walking the Routeburn Track. We loved it so much we would happily have stayed longer! The house is beautiful. Our room (the king ensuite room) was comfortable, well equipped, and had a fantastic bathroom. The main house offers a lovely living room for relaxing and a... More

Its rare when both location and accommodation are way beyond expectations and when hosts are perfectionists as well as delightful company. Toni and John simply excel. Our bed was super comfortable, the bathroom was not only spacious but had a modern take on a deep old fashioned bath tub, as well as huge shower, dual wash basins, great products, excellent... More
