STUNNING SURROUNDING RAINFOREST

Environmental awareness meets complete comfort at this enticing eco-lodge. Great care has been taken to respect the natural environment, including the stunning surrounding rainforest which was carefully preserved during throughout the construction process. Inside, natural lighting and recycled local materials help Te Waoniu to feel very much a part of its surroundings.

The rooms make for charming sanctuaries with their ensuite bathrooms, plush bedding and private balconies opening onto the enchanting rainforest. In fact, the forest here is so dense that guests are afforded plenty of privacy. When not enjoying the great outdoors on rock climbing or kayaking excursions, Te Waonui is a great place to unwind and disconnect from the bustle of the modern world. Enjoy dining among the treetops at The Canopy Restaurant, lazing by the fire in the lounge bar, and soothing spa treatments enveloped by calming forest views.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”

Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
