A family full of architects and builders, we designed Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses to be a contemporary country hotel accommodation. Not limiting our design efforts to the building, we also designed and handcrafted, with local wood working friends, the majority of the furniture throughout the lodge. This includes the custom designed beds that some guests say are, "the most comfortable beds in the South Island.” In 2003 our accommodation started with six guest rooms in the Main Lodge, and the Olive House. In 2006, we added the five luxury Tree Houses. In 2009 we remodeled the Main Lodge.
There are four accommodations in the Main Lodge: two Suites, the Hapuku Room (overlooking the pool), and the Lodge Room.
The Olive House Suite is a spacious accommodation with a kitchen, spa tub, fireplace, and a 360-degree view.
Nested 30 feet (10 M) above the ground in the canopy of a native Manuka grove, each Tree House accommodation has spectacular views of Kaikoura's dramatic mountains and the Pacific coastline.
