The Flying Fox - Unique Accommodation in NZ 

The Flying Fox – a truly unique off-grid accommodation experience on the banks of the stunning Whanganui River, in the north island of New Zealand. Nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of Whanganui National Park, The Flying Fox offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and steeped in character. Accessed only by aerial cable car, this hidden gem is perfect for those seeking adventure, tranquility, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

We offer hand-crafted stays including eco-friendly cottages, glamping and camping options, a treetop studio or an off-grid tiny house. Every space is lovingly built with sustainability in mind, combining rustic charm with modern comfort.

There’s plenty to do once you’re here: enjoy a canoe adventure on the River, take an exhilarating jet boat trip to the iconic Bridge to Nowhere, or use The Flying Fox as the perfect (fully catered) stopover on the Mountains to Sea cycle trail.
