Situated in Franz Josef Glacier village, a part of New Zealand’s Glacier Region, the Rainforest Retreat is surrounded by pristine rainforests and has a magnificent alpine and glacier backdrop. Staying in a little hut, right in the middle of the forest, is a fantastic experience and you would never have experienced before. With such out-of-the-world surroundings, you just have to step out and explore them and the hotel organizes such activities as guided glacier walks, horse trekking, white-heron tours, kayaking, skydiving and more. And after a tiring day, there’s lots at the hotel to let you relax. Take a swim in the spa pool or get a massage from the in-house therapist or simply cozy up near the fireplace in the bar.
Set amidst breathtaking landscape, waking up at the Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier is an event in itself as you’re greeted by the calls of birds and great views of snow capped mountains. Situated on the periphery of the Westland World Heritage Park, the hotel is surrounded by dramatic scenery. The Franz Josef township is a small one and virtually all its important points are close to the Scenic Hotel. The hotel rooms are spacious and bright, designed with simplicity but appointed with all essential amenities. The deliciously comfortable beds, with soft mattresses and fine linen, are just what you need after a tiring day spent outdoors.
