Our stay with Helen was wonderful! The ecolodge is very comfortable and Helen exemplifies Kiwi hospitality. There are fantastic views of valley from the rooms, which are comfortable and simple. There's also a great hike (tramp) from the top of the road, which Helen let us know about. Helen's homemade bread was delicious, as well! If you're considering staying in Arthur's Pass, do it, and hope you can stay at the Arthur's Pass Eco Lodge with Helen!
