Rainforest Retreat Franz Josef

In the heart of the Wild West Coast

Rainforest Retreat is located in the Franz Josef Glacier village, in the heart of New Zealand's Glacier Country, which is situated on the South Island's West Coast and is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area. A temperate rain forest area almost squashed by the immense Franz Josef Galcier inland and the wild Southern Ocean creating some of the wildest scenery in New Zealand. Although still almost completely unspoilt Franz Josef draws visitors from all over the world for this unspoilt beauty.

Rainforest Retreat, is situated on Cron Street, only minutes walk from the Franz Josef Glacier Village. There you will find the townships' grocery store, souvenir shops, service station, coach stops, cafes and restaurants as well as tour and sightseeing services. If you would like the Rainforest Crew to organize any activity during your stay, then please email us and we will be delighted to.
