Guest Reviews

• Nigel (9/5): Great little cottage set in the rainforest. - Great location in Franz Josef. The Gecko cottage was nice and quiet private spa was good to have. The armchair was not very comfortable.
• Joanne (8/5): There are better. - The room was warm and cosy. The pillows were too fat. The breakfast was not good value for money. I couldn't use the laundry because I only had cash.
• suzie (10/5): - A clean and cosy hut in a beautiful setting. The staff were lovely, and Monsoon restaurant in the front was exceptional!
• Charles (7/5): Good option with limited other places to stay nearby. Very comfortable and clean. - Unique setting and everything we needed. The courtesy light underneath the elevated lodging did not come on to illuminate the walkway.
• Johanna (10/5): - Surroundings
• Oli1966 (10/5): - Extraordinaire
• Anthony (8/5): Would stay there again. - Very convenient for the town centre. Room was on the first floor, was spacious and offered good view of the mountains. Breakfast was substantial even though we shared half of a cereal dish. Nothing.
• Nadine (10/5): - Room was very spacious and both the private and larger kitchen were really good. The fridge worked great for medicine and the WiFi was good too for work calls and some remote work when needed. You're also within walking distance to a lot of the start point of activities so Rainforest Retreat is a great base for the day. Shower is one of those floor flooding models, which is always a pain as it gets a lot of it wet. We weren't given a squeegee to dry off the floor.
• Corinna (10/5): Es war fantastisch! - Die Lage ist einzigartig. Die Zimmer sind großzügig eingerichtet mit allem was dazugehört .
• Anne (8/5): Great place for a one night stay en route to Wanaka - Very comfy, clean and tidy No electric blanket
• Ben (10/5): -
• Vicky (9/5): -
• Sophie (7/5): -
• Pannipa (9/5): -
• ni made (8/5): - Staff very friendly
• Patrick (10/5): -
• Xiao (8/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): Superb - Lovely accommodation in a really beautiful rainforest setting. We were delighted with our lodge room with its own spa - bonus we weren’t expecting.
• Lisa (8/5): -
• Ellen (10/5): Such a wonderful little cabin tucked away at the resort. - I loved the tree hut cabin! So comfortable & convenient. The rainforest retreat centrally located. It was all great!
• david (10/5): Stay here you won't regret it - Everything was amazing staff very helpful, gave us an upgrade which was very appreciated, has lots of room when the storm hit and power was out for quite a long time. Onsite Monsoon Restaurant was cozy and food was delicious. A great variety of accomodations options, motur home parking. Backbackers, motel units, spa tree huts
• Debbie (10/5): Peace and quiet retreat, beautiful scenery and would absolutely visit again. - Beautifully situated The spa was fantastic but could be made private as you are in full view of others around you as well as the neighbours when coming up the stairs.
• Juliet (9/5): -
• Cathi (7/5): A warm refuge on a cold stormy night. - We had the triple dorm room for 3 adults. It was very comfortable, warm & dry in 2 nights of torrential rain. The room was advertised with a tv & fridge, but it didn't have these. Just the 3 single beds, ensuite bathroom, tea & coffee-making facilities.
• ayla (8/5): -
• Alice (9/5): - Nice rooms, good size kitchen and communal areas aswell as a lovely sauna
• Lisa (10/5): -
• Terry (10/5): - Setting
• Rebecca (7/5): -
• Sandra (2/5): Uncomfortable stay - The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great and the bed was comfortable. The room was also clean. There could/should be rules about noise after a certain hour. We were kept up until 2 am by girls partying next door. I told the staff the next morning and they were very apologetic and offered 2 free coffees. The room is tiny with zero storage - no drawers and only a half-length hanging rack on the back of the mirror. None of the timber is painted or finished. There is no place to sit other than the bed - not one chair or small couch because there isn't room. No table and chair if you need to work. The shower is enormous but there is no wardrobe. The basin and counter are tiny with barely any room to put your toiletries except on a shelf above the toilet. However, if you take the dryer out from under the sink you can put some toiletries there. The room is really poorly designed and makes you wonder if an architect was involved at all. Simply, a very disappointing stay. We couldn't wait to get out of there, will not return and would not recommend staying there.
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Atholie (8/5): It was comfortable and central . A very good option - It was central to everything we needed The room was stylish and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent. The restaurant was very noisy as there is a pool table and bar right next to the seated area. The party atmosphere in the restaurant began very early and was off putting to a peaceful meal.
• Jessica (10/5): tranquil retreat - Amazing hostel, the cabin dorm is excellent value-super cute and comfy. The front-desk girl was hilarious and super friendly. Great location, great kitchen/lounge space. All around awesome spot.
• Angela (8/5): -
• Juliette (8/5): -
• Pamela (10/5): - Property was in walking distance to town. Clean and comfortable.
• Catherine (8/5): Nice place to stay close to town - Great location. Easy walk into town centre. The room was warm and cozy. Modern bathroom facilities. Restaurant food was ok. Not being able to control the heating temperature, it was either on or off.
• Amy (10/5): Felt like we were staying in a fancy hotel - We stayed in one of the fantail rooms, which is described as a “flash packers” - but really was more like a hotel room. They’re brand new rooms, with an ensuite. Huge shower, lovely shower products and tea available and a big king size bed. Really clean! Great value for money.
• melissa (10/5): Great location, great hotel and great staff. - Stayed for one night. Last minute booking. The reception staff were amazing….we were given an upgrade and the room was beautiful and included a hot tub on the balcony. Room and bathroom were so comfortable, spotless, very private and so quiet. Breakfast included was great, even cooked to order breakfast not a buffet. Restaurant attached was great and our evening meal was delicious. Very attentive staff in restaurant/bar Wish we could’ve stayed longer
• Tom (9/5): - Great views and friendly staff. Good sized room. Nice environment. Good facilities.
• Aline (9/5): - Quarto muito limpo! O quarto ficava bem do lado da banheira e o barulho no quarto ficava bem alto, mas não ia até muito tarde.
• Emily A Clark (10/5): -
• Wei Zhe (10/5): - 設備齊全有獨立衛浴和廁所 車子的路線規劃有點看不是很懂😅
• Kaylene (9/5): - Was a fabulous place to stay close to everything. Great place to eat at Monsoons staff very friendly. The shower in the Gecko House was a little small but other than that everything was great.
• Timothy (9/5): -
• Linda (7/5): Comfortable for a couple. - Quiet, handy location and dog friendly. The Gecko unit was hard to find as we were hidden away from the others and there was no lights left on so we had to walk around trying to find in the dark.
• Simone (10/5): - Camera molto spaziosa e pulita circondata dalla foresta pluviale. Hotpool privata. staff molto gentile. Ottima posizione per visite ai ghiacciai
• David (6/5): -
• Jodie (10/5): -
• Tania (9/5): -
• Melanie (9/5): Would highly recommend - Great property, central location with added bonus of the on site restaurant Nothing
• Katherine (2/5): Disappointing due to power cut no fault of facility but no support offered - Location Through no fault of facility there was a power cut that affected the whole town apart from those who had generators. No communication received from staff though no solutions such as candles or torches. No ability to have hot shower or spa. Spa hasn’t reached 40 degrees even when we first arrived when power was on. Room upgrade made to have private spa and couldnt use it
• Cécile (8/5): - Shower was nice, helpful hotel staff, good location but Franz Josef is small anyways. Shared jacuzzi was very nice. Had a pizza at the restaurant which was good Bed is comfortable Being on the ground floor meant keeping the curtains closed for privacy, so not much natural light, but we were out and about anyways during the day Nothing major, but : Room (fantail room) is quite small Towels couldn’t really dry in the bathroom, Couldn’t get the sauna to work Restaurant staff seemed a bit disorganised
• Ruth (8/5): -
• Nikita (10/5): - We upgraded our room on arrival to one of thr treehouses for a very reasonable amount. We loved the room and the hottub on the deck. Close to everything and pub/food on site was great. Really good atmosphere around the place. Nothing
• Schumacher (9/5): - Spa was amazing and it had a great shower. Bed was comfortable.
• Rogene (9/5): -
• Christine (9/5): Relaxing -
• Katherine (10/5): Relaxing, calm and enjoyed the the hot pool - Beautiful, comfortable Nothing
• Lee (9/5): Beautiful and felt luxurious. - Handy to everything yet so peaceful and quiet. Nothing
• Mike (5/5): - Very clean bed comfortable. Came especially for the hot tub and it was cold, could not contact staff because it was late. Told the staff at the checkout about it and seemed like they didn’t really care just told me thank you for telling us.
• claudia (8/5): -
• Nick (8/5): A great place on our adventure in Franz Josef - It was a great little place for short stay the room was very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly n helpful. Nothing to add here
• Melisande (3/5): Basic problems need fixing - Great location Nothing in the room but the bed. The bed rolled away every time i sat or got on it. Only heating was a blow heater. None in the bathroom. Ugly Marks on the floor. Glass Sliding door at ground level is the only entry so curtains shut all the time and rolling in the dark on that crazy bed.
• leslie (6/5): King King studio rooms in this retreat are over rated and over priced. Choose an upgraded room or choose somewhere else - Nice restaurant, clean accessible laundry, friendly staff Bed was 2 singles pushed together on castors. The room was so small you couldn’t help but knock the bed and it moved every time you leant against it. Even when we were laying on the bed. We ended up putting one of our rubber thongs (jandles) under 2 castors to stop the movement. This left a permanent indent on the thongs too. The room was sold as a king studio, however the Retreat themselves call the rooms ‘flashpackers’ which is an upmarket backpacker I assume. Mainly because of the lack of any facilities inside like a fridge or a glass. Suitcases had to go on the floor and there was a jug with mugs on a tiny table only, apart from a mirror. This room cost $260nzd and was easily the most overpriced room we have stayed in while in NZ.
• Teresa (9/5): - Very private and loved the nature trail
• Wendy (10/5): It was so lovely we stayed an extra day. A hot tub after a long walk was divine. - The setting is beautiful with a lot of rainforest vegetation around. And only 25 to the township. The loveliest grounds I’ve seen so far. That I had to leave…..
• Filippo (9/5): -
• Ruchi (10/5): Overall excellent stay - Place. Parking for big van
• vaschwanden (10/5): - Stayed here two nights in a Rainforest Treetop room, and would definitely stay here again. It was super clean, quiet, well appointed, very comfortable, and the private hot tub was a blessing after a big day of outdoor adventures. Easy walking to all dining establishments in town, eat at the Monsoon restaurant on site, or make your own meals in your kitchenette!
• maheshwari (9/5): -
• Kylie (10/5): Loved staying here. Wish we were here for more than one night - Great property. Very cosy and comfortable
• Daniel (7/5): -
• Julie (8/5): -
• Peter (9/5): -
• Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional staff support during a medical emergency made our stay outstanding. - During our stay, one member of our group had a serious fall and required immediate medical attention. The staff were outstanding throughout, with Megan in particular being incredibly helpful, attentive, and kind. They acted quickly to ensure medical services arrived as soon as possible, while also doing their best to comfort and support us during a very stressful situation. We were genuinely impressed by the level of care and professionalism shown. Despite the incident, we had been thoroughly enjoying our stay, and thanks to the team’s support, we even decided to extend it by an extra night. The reception staff were more than happy to help us arrange this, which we greatly appreciated.
• ROSLAN BIN MANAB (7/5): - Bath tub were great Bed got small creature. But what to do, you're in the forest.
• Sandi (6/5): - Natural bush setting and restaurant on site and close to town center. People with disabilities have no option to park closer to accommodation when staying in gecko village. Bed was extremely soft.
• Jenny (10/5): Super! - Hervorragendes Essen im Restaurant, sehr nettes Personal, gemütliche Atmosphäre
• Pär (9/5): - The nice rooms. It was tidy. Closeness to the village and walking tracks. The laundromat was good. No where to hang coats or clothes in the room.
• Janice (7/5): - . Amazing spot amonst the trees and the restaurant was good. Cottage a bit shabby and minimal for the price.
• Warren (6/5): Okay place to stay in town. - Just okay. Our room was too close to a set of stairs and somewhat dark.
• John (8/5): - Shower was a bit weak
• Claudia (8/5): -
• Stephanie (10/5): Would def stay here again in a heartbeat - The whole place was magnificent. I recommended the gecko cottages. Feels like your in the rainforest. The monsoon restaurant was amazing as well. With the most beautiful helpful staff Nothing
• Barry (10/5): -
• Peter Carey (8/5): Good value accommodation as long as you don't mind smaller rooms. - Good facilities, ckean rooms, good sjze bathroom If the dorm rooms are full with 4 people the rooms are fairly tight but I guess you aren't in there for more than sleeping.
• Sara (10/5): - A beautiful place to stay, you truly feel immersed in the rainforest. The cottage is very cozy. We were lucky enough to get the hottub to ourselves, which was also lovely.
• Danny (8/5): Comfortable room with basic amenities great for a short stay. Excellent location for local activities - Amazing location and close to all the local amenities and activities Lack of storage space, but not a deal breaker
• Bridget (10/5): - The deluxe treehouse is exactly like the pictures! It was well presented, very comfortable, and we enjoyed the spa on the deck. Staff were very helpful as we arrived at night in pouring rain! Thank you
• Viktoria (9/5): - Schlafsaal sehr sauber. War komplett ausgebucht und super sauber. Mega gesellig und gutes Unterhaltungsangebot. Schlafsaal bei voller Ausbuchung recht klein.
• Piers (10/5): -
• Miriam (9/5): - Großes gemütliches Bett und ansonsten funktional eingerichtetes Zimmer. Es gibt eine große Gemeinschaftsküche mit Kühlraum. Das Abendessen im Restaurant auf dem.Gelände war gut.
• Michael Simon (8/5): -
• Kelly (8/5): Just be aware only deluxe cabins are private, the tree lodge we booked wasn’t completely privat and adjoins another cabi - Location Noise from adjoining cabin, guests were not so much noisy but they walls are very thin,
• Tom (7/5): -
• Sue (10/5): relaxing, luxury, fun sitting amongst the trees in the spa. Listened to the morpork put us to sleep - brilliant room, got it for a great discount too on Boooking.com we were blown away and would have stayed longer but had to move to the other room for the second night- also a good room and cheaper. But the first room was lovely! had to move lol- our fault for not booking in advance
• Carolin (8/5): - Sehr schöne Lage quasi mitten im Dschungel, eigener Parkplatz, gutes dazugehöriges Restaurant (besonders das Steak war zu empfehlen) Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht ganz stimmig, kein Schrank für Kleidung im Zimmer, sehr kleiner Tisch im Zimmer, obwohl man mit Toaster und "Küche" davon ausgehen kann, dass die Leute dort zumindest frühstücken, Wege auf dem Gelände nicht so gut beleuchtet, winziges Waschbecken (wir haben uns an der Spüle die Zähne geputzt)
• Sonu (10/5): Awesome 💯 - You can’t get a property like this! Absolutely awesome
• Romain (10/5): - Tout
