Te Waonui Forest Retreat

Te Waonui Forest Retreat offers an exclusive luxury hotel experience on New Zealand’s beautiful West Coast. A 5 star retreat, we have designed Te Waonui to offer an unparalleled example of sustainable accommodation. Our four wings join together to enclose an area of native rainforest that was carefully preserved during construction, and is so dense that guests can’t see the opposite wing, ensuring a sense of privacy.

Our specially personalised 24-hour reception area & concierge service and array of in-room features and facilities give our guests choice and a feeling of total relaxation, while the Frond Bar & Restaurant offers a dining experience to remember. Situated on the ground floor of the main public building, directly inside from the covered vehicle unloading bay, is the 24-hour hotel reception.

Guests are greeted and farewelled by our friendly attentive front office team ensuring they feel secure and cared for during their stay. Within this facility you will find twin check-in desks for independent travellers, a designated tour check-in area, local activity desk, comfortable seating area and elevator access to the restaurant and first floor guest rooms.

A truly innovative retreat, Te Waonui Forest Retreat raises the bar for unique luxury accommodation in New Zealand.
