Gather your adventure gear, load up the car, and get outdoors!
Come and revel in the magnificent naturescape of the West Coast.
Getting here is a big part of the fun and adventure.
Breathe in the sweet, clean air and take in our great and diverse New Zealand countryside.
Our motel is designed to maximize the beauty of the mountain views
and greenery with decks, outdoor areas, or conservatory windows.
All of our accommodation is set amidst the native Franz Josef rainforest.
Our spacious, well-equipped rooms come with all that you will need.
We have SkyTV sports, entertainment, and movie channels so you won't miss your favourite must-sees.
After an active day out and about, come home and relax with a hot cuppa.
Whip up a meal or stroll over to one of our watering holes in the village.
Just what you need for a restful and rejuvenating break.
Punga Grove is just a short walk from all the local restaurants, shops and other things to do in Franz Josef village. Highlights include the West Coast Wildlife Centre (we're getting a penguin in October 2025!!) and the Glacier Base for booking your heli-hikes and other activities or book a hot tub to relax and soak those sore muscles -- all just minutes away from your room at Punga Grove.
