Be prepared for New Zealand to steal your heart as you experience life among the rainforest-clad foothills of the Southern Alps with a calming stay at Rainforest Retreat, nestled in the alpine village of Franz Josef. From breathtaking glaciers and peaceful lagoons to majestic mountains and pristine lakes, this secluded sanctuary is surrounded by unparalleled nature within a UNESCO World Heritage-listed area.
There is no better way to experience the flora and fauna at your doorstep than a stay within one of the retreat's self-contained havens. Feel at one with nature as you're suspended above the lush rainforest canopy, where you can breathe in the fresh alpine air from your hut's expansive deck area and quiet your mind in the rainforest shower ensuite.
When adventure calls, take time to visit iconic sights and lesser-known gems hidden throughout New Zealand’s glacier country and along the wild West Coast. Take to the water and embark on a kayaking adventure with white herons on Ōkārito Lagoon, marvel at Lake Mapourika's shimmering surface, discover the powdered slopes of Franz Josef Glacier or Fox Glacier on a guided walk, or enjoy a change of pace with a horseback tour (surcharges apply).
