In your quality accommodation at Ribbonwood Retreat, you can relax in the wilderness, wander the gardens and feel your travel tiredness slip away. The surroundings of Glacier Country are at the doorstep to explore. Our accommodation includes two choices; a separate self-contained garden cottage with a king bed and a single bed or the spacious Waiho Rooms on the top floor of the house - where your party have the exclusive use of the top floor with two bedrooms for a double, twin, or a group of three travelling together. Set on an acre of lush, sprawling lawns surrounded by established native trees and private gardens, your secluded Scandi-inspired retreat in the heart of Glacier Country awaits. Nestled on the doorstep of Westland National Park, the generous 40-square-metre cottage boasts spectacular mountain and glacier views. Conveniently located a short 5-minute drive to the town centre of Franz Josef Glacier you can indulge in a fabulous range of cafes and restaurants and venture into the wilderness on one of many iconic hiking trails or guided tours. Experience the West Coasts' incredible sunsets or sip your favourite wine alfresco under the stars on the large deck which eludes off the cottage ranch slider. Sink into your hotel-grade King bed wrapped in crisp 100% cotton line-dried linen. The Waiho Suite encompasses two bedrooms which both have ranch slider doors that open out onto private decks, perfectly positioned whilst enjoying your favourite beverage appreciating the vastness around you that is UNESCO World Heritage. Just a few minutes drive from the village and ten minutes drive from the glacier, our bed & breakfast accommodation has several excellent restaurants nearby, offering complimentary transport. You can relax knowing your hosts, Julie and Jonathan will take good care of you.
