This a great place in a sleepy little village (at least in the winter, it's pretty quiet). It has remarkable views, sits right next to the lake and at the head of the Glenorchy trail. While a bit of a drive from Queenstown, it was definitely worth it in my opinion. Across the lake is the village of Kinloch with a great little restaurant (owned and operated by the folks that own the Glenorchy Lake House) that had fantastic food. And the Routeburn Track trail head is a short drive away. Would definitely repeat if we are in the area again.
