Perfect for exploring Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers
Set at the edge of Westland Tai Poutini National Park, this well-appointed hotel is an ideal base from which to explore Franz Josef Glacier. It is also just a half an hour drive from Fox Glacier. Popular local activities include guided glacier walks, heli-hikes, eco rafting, bush walks, kayaking and horse riding. The hotel is also in close proximity to the only indoor ice climbing wall in the Southern Hemisphere!
After an activity-filled day, unwind in one of the hotel’s four spa pools, or head to the Amaia Luxury Spa – which is set in the Te Waonui Forest Retreat – for a soothing treatment. Choose from two restaurants offering à la carte and buffet options with an emphasis on local dishes such as West Coast whitebait, Westland lamb rump and Whataroa home-smoked chicken breast. Views from The Glasshouse Restaurant provide a beautiful backdrop to your dining experience. Indulge in quality wines by a roaring fire at The Moa Bar.
The rooms are located in two wings and include free Wi-Fi. Standard Rooms are set in the older Graham wing while the more spacious Superior Rooms are located in the more modern Douglas wing.
