A tree house nestled amongst ancient rainforest

Nestled amongst native bush, at the foot of the Southern Alps and in the centre of Franz Josef Village is a secluded retreat. Set on the wild West Coast of the South Island, surrounded by an adventurer’s playground in the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area.

Relax and unwind in your Deluxe Two Bedroom Tree House. A charming wooden house, hidden in the lush rainforest with a king-size bed in each bedroom and a bathroom, with a rain shower. After the kids are asleep, listen out for birdsong on your deck and have a soak in the bubbling spa bath.

Explore the spectacular Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Discover lakes, rivers, hiking and cycling trails, rainforest and remote beaches. Indulge in fresh food and local wine at the on-site Monsoon Restaurant & Bar.
