Stunning hotel view a beautiful view of the forest! The five course degustation dinner was amazing! Definitely the place to stay in Franz Josef 🙌🏽😴🍴🌿

A luxurious accommodation provider in Franz Josef, Te Waonui Forest Retreat has the best of the best. Can you believe they have their very own personal pillow menu?! The environmentally sustainable building is warm and cosy and is a great place for the family to relax after a long day climbing the glacier. There are loads of activities to enjoy including native bird watching, horse riding and eco tours.

For a peaceful and relaxing break from big city life, the Te Waonui Forest Retreat is eco designed luxury. Part of the Scenic Hotel group, the emphasis here is very much on creating a healthy and environmentally safe habitat for guests.
