About Us

Scenic Hotel Group is a proudly New Zealand owned company with 17 quality hotels, stretching from Paihia in the far north, to Gore and Queenstown in the deep south. We are located in New Zealand’s favourite holiday locations and main gateway cities in each island.

Previously known as Scenic Circle Hotels, in mid 2009 the company re-branded to become the Scenic Hotel Group. At this time we launched two new brands, namely Heartland Hotels and Scenic Hotels and Suites. In addition, our very special luxury property, Te Waonui Forest Retreat, opened in September 2009. The new branding structure allows us to more clearly communicate the style, location and quality of each hotel, offering better consistency for our valued customers – whose comfort and feedback is so important to us.

Our commitment to you, our guest

Scenic Hotel Group is committed to providing quality, comfortable accommodation that represents excellent value for leisure and business travellers from around New Zealand and around the world. We extend genuine friendly Kiwi hospitality to every guest who comes through our doors.

Our commitment to New Zealand

Scenic Hotel Group prides itself on remaining 100 percent New Zealand owned and operated. Our philosophy includes supporting New Zealand businesses and the environment.

Wherever you choose to stay with us, we look forward to sharing our warm welcome and Kiwi hospitality with you.
