We had a great time. The hut was comfortable and the heating worked well. The bathroom and toilet facilities were excellent. The composting toilet was clean and didn't smell at all. Cooking on the gas camping stove worked out fine.

There were some minor glitches with the battery that powered the electricity, but the owners rapidly corrected this by hooking up a gas generator. When the battery glitches are ironed out, the place will be perfect. I admire the owners for doing the right thing and having the goal of the hut being powered solely by solar energy. They seem well on the way to achieving this goal.

Loved it!! Peaceful and secluded getaway, with beautiful views!

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, with privacy, seclusion and beautiful views, then Glenwood is the place to be! Such a relaxing setting to sit back and listen to the birds (we loved watching the abundant Kereru). We stayed in the kanuka hut. It was simple but very well equipped and had everything you could need for a lovely stay 😊 We used the BBQ and gas cooker a few nights and went into town another night for dinner. A wonderful continental breakfast is all set for you, which was a lovely touch! The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was great. There's lots of cute wee touches to the place (such as books, board games, hot water bottles etc) which really made the place feel very thought-out and homely. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay, and would definitely stay again! Such a restful break away 😊

Nothing we didn't like, just things worth noting! The huts are solar powered, so you do have to be mindful of conserving power (not having multiple things going at once etc). The toilet is also an eco toilet (essentially a fancy long drop) but don't worry, as it doesn't smell! These things just added to the off-the-grid type experience, so not cons in our opinion. It's also worth noting the road to the hut is steep and narrow, and a decent car or 4wd is recommended!

Superb

The view!

Bit of a weird smell when I opened the lodge, had to keep the door and windows open for a while, but then everything was fine

Wonderful, Peaceful, Relaxing, Romantic affordable stay away.

The host was very accommodating. Fabulous view. Lovely to be off grid. Amazing water pressure. Very private. So quiet. Everything you need for a short break away. Even though we had a slight issue with the power, Ken was down very quickly to sort it out and even gave us a bottle of wine for the minor inconvenience.

Having to walk outside to and from the bathroom facilities.

The perfect getaway

Ken is a amazing host, friendly, very attentive, and he went above and beyond our expectations from delivering eggs to lending us his car, blown away with the service here at Glenwood Akaroa retreat. The walking tracks were a extra bonus, one with a beautiful waterfall. BBQ,assortment of snacks and breakfast are provided. The spot is so secluded, peaceful and private it was hard to leave.The perfect get away, we definitely recommend and would love to come back. Thankyou for having us.
