Nestled amongst native rainforest in the untamed West Coast of New Zealand, the Te Waonui Forest Retreat is the ideal place to reconnect with nature and the dramatic surroundings.
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 aptly named Canopy Restaurant serving 5 course dégustation and a la carte options ensure that the dining experience will be one to remember.
A truly innovative retreat, Te Waonui Forest Retreat raises the bar for unique luxury accommodation in New Zealand.
