It was just perfect. Amazing owner. Super friendly and quick TAT. Amazing decor. Awesome amenities - fully equipped kitchen, games, heater, bathtub, binoculars to watch dolphins directly from the cabins - we saw multiple dolphins, a kayak, a boat from the cabin given its great location. We could see milky way one out of two nights that we spent at the cabin. Super clean with premium amenities. MUST MUST MUST STAY in KAIKOURA.

One of the best properties to stay in at Lake Tekapo. What a beautiful modern home with all the amenities you need. The place was close to everything and had an excellent living room and one could sit there for hours gazing at the stars in the night. We had a wonderful time and will definitely visit again.

For travellers who are adventurous, social, and interested in a home stay with a kind, energetic and knowledgeable host, Eco Lodge is the place for you. While rustic, Eco Lodge is like a luxury mountain hut that you can drive to, with a beautiful view, private rooms, comfy beds, clean sheets and towels, hot showers, running water, and a fabulous host/chef, who provides delicious, freshly cooked meals (breakfast and dinner). While completely off the grid, solar power provides energy for lights, and charging devices. Wifi is also provided. Great hiking is at your doorstep, and quiet, peaceful sleeps await you after “family style” dinners. The lodge is all about shared spaces, meeting new people from around the world, and experiencing home away from home!

The Chalets are very cosy, not crammed in together. It is great to have a full stove in the unit. We were there on a very cold couple of days and an extra heater was supplied.

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend and had a fantastic time. The chalet is very well finished with all the accessories you need - there is even a coffee machine! The location is great and the views from the deck are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath and the view of the stars in the evenings was incredible! We would highly recommend!

Loved the room. It was wooden, and even though it was connected to other rooms (it is a motel), it felt like cabins or chalets. The location is right opposite the pools so very handy. The room was clean and tidy and quiet. There was a really good heat pump in the room for chilly days too.
