Nature lovers will want to stay at this wonderful high-country lodge, where hosts Gerry McSweeney, ecologist/conservationist extraordinaire, and his wife Anne Saunders have developed a very special experience. Although it's not nearly as luxurious as Grasmere, the lodge offers superior outdoor activities and informed, guided nature tours -- all of which highlight environmental conservation practices on the property. All rooms overlook the Waimakariri valley and mountain peaks and there are four new alpine lodges for a bit of extra pampering. I recommend a 2-night minimum stay to fully enjoy the property. It has a Qualmark Enviro-Gold rating for its excellent conservation and recycling measures, and it has its own hydro-power scheme.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting by prior arrangement; room service on request; canoe trips; Wi-Fi in lounge

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
