Camp Glenorchy

Glenorchy, New Zealand

Forty minutes from the adventure hot spot of Queenstown, New Zealand, is Camp Glenorchy: the country’s first energy net-zero hotel and campground. Camp Glenorchy aims to use 50% less energy and water than similar accommodations by relying on a solar garden and smart lighting; there’s also a smell-free composting toilet in each unit. The design channels the surrounding valley’s natural beauty through the use of construction materials like recycled timber while still incorporating upscale features like an in-room tablet that enables guests to monitor their energy use. —Ali Wunderman
