The new cabins are excellent. The fit out and amenities are great, and the views over Dart and the Lake, to the mountains opposite are incredible. Service was great, thanks to Em for providing an easy check-in process and Harry for creating a great dinner. So pleased we decided to stay...and we will be back on our next visit to NZ.

We stayed at Ecoscapes for one night, and that was not nearly enough time. We checked in and were immediately made to feel at home. The owner made us feel special and provided us with fresh cream for our tea and coffee for the morning. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. My only regret was that we could only spend one night. Amazing!!

One of the most unique places we’ve experienced and stayed in NZ. Just amazing. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. I’m loathed to write this review as more people will then uncover this place (!) but truthfully it’s next level and very cool.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We've been traveling around NZ for three months and this was among the more expensive but the worst we've encountered. It consists of two cabins which are wedged between the owner's hotel (Kinlock hotel) and their house. There is little privacy (owners can see you from a few meters away if you're on your terrace or in the jacuzzi) and no landscaping (you're between an unkempt garden and their house with personal effects such as a lawnmower, cages etc). The food was terrible (all frozen / reheated) but it's far from anything else. The

We loved it here!
Beautiful experience at Ecoscapes! We loved the tranquility of being in a slightly more isolated location (but not too difficult to get to, a quick 1.5 hour drive from Queenstown). The property is perfectly situated to enjoy views of the sunrise and sunsets. Breakfast is included and very substantial. Overall really great place to stay if you really want to get away from people! We stayed two nights, which was perfect for allowing some time to explore the hiking options nearby.

Staying at Ecoscapes was a one of a kind experience which I can’t rate highly enough. So much care and thought has gone into the comfort, presentation and additional extras to make this place such a unique holiday experience. The luxurious and comfortable bed looks through a large window with breathtaking views of the mountains and lake along with a reading/nook bench at the end of the bed to also take advantage of this vista. There is full screen projector with access to Netflix and a speaker with ‘cinema like’ sound that can be watched in bed or from the nearby lounge for those times when it’s raining or you just want to relax. Breakfast was included and there was a choice of many yummy options. We also tried dinner one night, which was a 3 course meal and this was also fantastic. Thanks for an amazing time!

Amazing stay at Ecoscapes
Toni and John were amazing hosts. They made sure everything was perfect for our stay from before we arrived to the morning before we checked out. Ecoscapes was just as we had imagined, really clean, eco friendly, quiet, private, comfortable. Would highly recommend if you are after a nice getaway near Queenstown.
