About
Tucked away in Franz Josef Glacier's stunning wilderness, Rainforest Retreat is a paradise for those seeking comfort, adventure and value. Here, our vibrant team rolls out the red carpet with an array of complimentary treats including unlimited Wi-Fi, access to our communal oversized spa pool heated to a blissful 40 degrees, an alpine barrel sauna and rainforest shower to ensure you feel right at home.
Rainforest offers a variety of cosy nests ranging from upscale backpacker-friendly ensuite rooms to secluded cottages, tree lodges and motel units nestled among the native bush. For those who prefer to keep it social, our dorm options include stylish ensuite 4-Bed Flashpacker dorms or larger shared dorms, blending comfort with the chance to meet fellow travellers. Embrace perks like complimentary use of GHD hair straighteners and hairdryers in what are arguably the classiest backpacker bathrooms around! Integrated seamlessly into the native rainforest with stunning views of the alpine scenery, we also offer park sites for campers craving that naked under-the-stars experience.
Whether you’re looking for a private hideaway or a shared space to make new friends, we’ve got something for every taste and budget.
Gather and connect at our cosy bar and gastro pub, Monsoon, where we dial up the ambiance with crackling fires and pulsating DJ nights, supplemented by nightly specials! It's not just about the vibes though; our culinary maestro has curated a menu that tempts without denting your wallet - think all-you-can-eat pizza nights, wild Mexican fiestas and meal deals alongside a tantalizing à la carte selection crafted to refuel your adventurous spirit.
Beyond the creature comforts, immerse yourself in natural wonders and explore the countless adventures just a stone's throw away in Glacier Country.
Rainforest Retreat Flashpackers isn’t merely a place to crash; it’s a place to live, laugh, connect and create memories. From the moment you check in at 2 pm until you check out at 10 am, our doors are open and ready to welcome you to an experience that transcends the typical backpacker’s stay.
Are you ready for an adventure that combines the thrill of the wild with the comfort and warmth of hospitality?
