About Us

Scenic Hotel Group is a proudly New Zealand owned company with 18 quality hotels, stretching from Paihia in the far north, to Gore and Queenstown in the deep south, and the South Pacific in Tonga and Niue. We are located in New Zealand’s favourite holiday locations and main gateway cities in each island.

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, Suites & Resorts. In addition, our very special luxury property, Te Waonui Forest Retreat, opened in September 2009. Our 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.
