This was an oasis of peace during a 4 week trip. Off street parking so the hire car felt safe. Hosts helpful with check in which was easy. What was not to like about the inside - it was clean, fresh, had the space in the living/kitchen/dining area that was needed. Bedrooms with comfy beds. Bathrooms were good as were the washing facilities. Kitchen had the basics needed and the coffee provided was great. Walking distance to the 4 square store and town facilities. Some previous guests had written bad things like needing to leave by 10am.!! Those people obviously are self centred. You need time to clean and prepare for following guests.

Deep In the heart of west coast glacier country, Rainforest Retreat offers a range of accommodation set amongst lush native bush in the Franz Josef township.

Rainforest Retreat offers a range of accommodation from luxury tree huts to backpackers rooms.

Our room was clean and well maintained. We had a bunk bed and a queen bed and they were all comfortable. There was plenty of room for all of us. The worker at the front desk gave us two bottles of milk and it was so good in our tea in the morning! It was also nice to use their laundry facilities to clean our clothes. The price was reasonable for the machines.
