Helen's ecolodge is an amazing home, truly off the grid and a rare chance to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself and the mountains. The views don't hurt, either. I drove in pretty late, around 9:30 pm, and Helen was extremely accommodating to chat and show me the place and get me settled in. Slept like a cloud and though my stay was brief, I highly recommend anyone traveling through Arthur's Pass to stay at the ecolodge just a short 13 minute drive away.
