Featuring mountain views, Arthur's Pass Ecolodge provides accommodation with balcony, around 13 km from Arthur's Pass National Park. With river views, this accommodation features a patio. The homestay features family rooms. Helen is a wonderful, welcoming host. The house is in a good location near Arthur's Pass and makes a great stop if you're driving cross country. We opted to include the dinner and breakfast and both were delicious. The common area and bathroom is shared with another room/visitors and we were lucky to have very enjoyable company so it felt like reliving the old hostel days as an adult 😀
