Luxury Holidays At Te Waonui Forest Retreat

Nestled amongst beautiful West Coast rainforest and designed with the utmost consideration for the precious local environment, guests at Te Waonui Forest Retreat can look forward to a luxury retreat with sustainability at its heart. The hotel is the ultimate coming together of luxury escape and environmental awareness, with four hotel wings encircling the native forest, carefully preserved when the hotel was built, and so dense that guests can't see the opposite wing, providing a sense of peace and privacy that is truly something special. Close to the West Coast's best known natural attraction, the Franz Josef Glacier, this 5-Star retreat is a fantastic base for exploring the South West World Heritage Area and offers discerning travellers a unique and memorable experience surrounded by nature.
