WEST COAST TOURISM І<br />
23<br />
Relaxing accommodation in lush<br />
surroundings<br />
Nestled amongst 5.2 hectares of lush West Coast native bush at Franz<br />
Josef, the aptly named Rainforest offers a range of accommodation to<br />
suit all pockets, all requirements, from top-end five-star deluxe suites<br />
with their own patio deck and hot tub, to comfortable houses, cottages,<br />
motel rooms, and even family bunk rooms at the budget end.<br />
The informal, laid-back vibe ensures couples, families and groups will all<br />
find this the perfect place to relax and unwind, with kea and tui providing<br />
the soundtrack.<br />
The spacious on-site Monsoon restaurant and bar provides a friendly<br />
pub-style atmosphere, three roaring fires, delicious home-cooked<br />
food and an extensive range of 50 specialty gins, while the ice-cream<br />
sundaes are a hit with the kids.<br />
The stunning surroundings offer a range of activities from hiking the<br />
glacier, kayaking on Okarito Lagoon and Lake Mapourika, to horsetrekking,<br />
quad-biking, tandem skydiving or just quietly observing the<br />
native wildlife.<br />
