For travellers and trade partners, the transition of the property to Scenic Hotel Group ensures greater access via multiple platforms and agreements, underpinned by our highly acclaimed reservations network, trusted service standards and deep knowledge of the South Island’s West Coast.
New Zealand owned and operated, Scenic Hotel Group has a long history of welcoming guests across the South Island. The addition of Scenic Hotel Te Weheka further strengthens the group’s presence on the West Coast and creates more opportunities for visitors to explore this remarkable region.
Chief Executive Officer Karl Luxon said the agreement reflects the company’s commitment to investing in destinations that continue to inspire travellers from New Zealand and around the world.
“Fox Glacier remains one of New Zealand’s most iconic visitor destinations and we are delighted to welcome this property into the Scenic Hotel Group family.”
“Scenic Hotel Group is excited about the growth of international tourism on the West Coast and we look forward to working with our tourism and international marketing partners to continue promoting Fox Glacier and Westland region, a destination renowned for its unique and iconic tourist experiences” he said.
“Te Weheka Hotel has built a strong reputation for quality accommodation and genuine hospitality. We look forward to building on that success while helping more travellers discover everything this remarkable part of New Zealand has to offer.”
The hotel will remain independently owned under a hotel management agreement with Scenic Hotel Group.
From 1 September 2026, guests staying at Scenic Hotel Te Weheka can expect the same authentic West Coast welcome, backed by Scenic Hotel Group’s commitment to quality, service excellence. All existing reservations remain unchanged, and the hotel looks forward to welcoming loyal and future guests.
