Situated on a working farm, Smiths Farm Holiday Park offers accommodation surrounded by rolling hills and rural gardens. Guests can enjoy feeding and petting the friendly farm animals, which include sheep, cows, pigs and goats. Chris and Barbara were the best part of staying here. SO extremely helpful and delightful touches e.g. fresh warm muffins for us to take to our cabin upon arrival; picking us up from the Queen Charlotte Sound track end. The cabin was clean and well stocked for a small kitchen space - it had everything we needed.

Situated 45km from Queenstown, The Headwaters Eco Lodge offers accommodation in Glenorchy, surrounded by mountain views.

All rooms feature free Wi-Fi and heated floors. A continental or a hot breakfast is included with the option of a 3 course dinner with all accommodation types. We were so impressed with the effort the lodge makes to run a sustainable operation and reduce their environmental impacts. It's also in a beautiful location.
