It is by far the "greenest" accommodation you'll ever encounter, and the touches of creative artistry, luxury, and fantastic kitchen will push it over the top. Built of largely reclaimed materials and powered by the sun, The Headwaters is a place to remember. From the abundant breakfast to morning yoga to the local art that abounds everywhere, you'll never want for comfort and entertainment. Don't expect bellhops, TV, and room service. DO expect cheery help, a free laundromat, and a relaxing environment in a tiny but scenic town. It's pricey, but bucket-list-worthy. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very expensive for the fact that you had a timed shower - 8 minutes. Smacks of why water restrictions given proximity to lake. Question - do locals have timed showers? Not sure re use of compost toilets given that septic system for whole site with recycled water system could have been effective. Food was great. Alan ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I must admit that when my husband said "ecolodge" and "composting toilets" I was a little wary. From arrival we were blown away by the beauty of the property and friendliness of the staff. We were so impressed that we weren't even unpacked and we were discussing extending our stay. We dropped one of our planned stops on our trip to NZ just to stay here longer. Besides being beautifully designed everything is done with great ecological care. Those composting toilets that I was worried about were actually pretty cool and didn't seem much different than a standard toilet. Our cabin was absolutely charming and we were so appreciative of the snacks and drinks left for us. Loved sitting in the chairs on the porch as well. Breakfast was always delicious with so many choices. (Best scrambled eggs I've ever had and the chef graciously shared the secret with me when I asked what the ingredients were.) I also really enjoyed the morning yoga offered. ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 6, 2025 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eco-friendly with solar on each roof and compostable toilets.

It is very eco-friendly but extremely well done. The cabin we had for our family was very cosy. We loved the large, well equipped communal kitchen and the breakfast. We also had great local tips from the staff there who were very available. ##### Beth Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blake Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relax andexplore Incredible place to explore.

The hotel is lovely with a few caveats. We loved the idea and the interactive part about controlling your room temperature, shower ect. Unfortunately, our room was basically next to the two lane highway coming into town and quite noisy. I also thought the staff was a little unresponsive to questions. The breakfast situation was confusing that you needed to go through the public kitchen drawers to get silverware and plates, wash them and put away. Also, there are 3 washers but only one drier. We had to stay up past 11pm in lime for it as we were leaving the next day. They have a drying room but it was filled with mildew tents drying from the campers section that the hotels guests share everything with. We stayed two nights and overall was nice, but felt one night in Glenorchy would have been plenty as all our tours and hikes left from Queenstown and we were driving back and forth on that drive just to sleep. ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon Nov 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A gem! My favorite place I stayed in New Zealand! I didn’t know it was possible for a place to be this eco-friendly! Very high tech and yet a rustic feel, and extremely clean with very kind staff. The town is also small and lovely, and the whole area has plenty of beautiful nature excursions. Wish I could have spent more time here! ##### Brandon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mizata By Antiresort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mizata-Hotels-Mizata.h25141307.Hotel-Information) > > [The Malcolm Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-The-Malcolm-Hotel-By-CLIQUE.h19460361.Hotel-Information) > > [Auberge Les Bons Matins](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Auberge-Les-Bons-Matins.h2519367.Hotel-Information) > > [Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Valhalla-Inn.h25234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Miraflores](https://www.expedia.ca/Miraflores-Lima-Hotels.0-n6053555-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterloo-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d7392-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Paradise Resort Club and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Paradise-Resort-Club-And-Spa.h4549856.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites Rochester Henrietta](https://www.expedia.ca/Rochester-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-Rochester-Henrietta.h455979.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Canadian Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Royal-Canadian-Lodge.h18100.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Grand Key - Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Grand-Key-Key-West.h470834.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sackville](https://www.expedia.ca/Sackville-Hotels.d9761.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Coast Tsawwassen Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Hotels-Coast-Tsawwassen-Inn.h4785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Casino New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.ca/Casino-New-Brunswick-Hotels.0-l6296640-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/dxb/detroit-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Savannah (SAV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sav/ottawa-to-savannah) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lhr/vancouver-to-london) > > [Flights from Bari (BRI) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bri/ath/bari-to-athens) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Woodstock](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Woodstock.d6141055-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Kelowna.d3997.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Aruba Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Aruba.d9.Destination-Travel-Guides)
