Five-star Tree House accommodation in Kaikōura, South Island, New Zealand
  • A truly exceptional hotel. Excellent food in the restaurant – including the best sourdough bread and home-produced olive oil – and the banana bread at breakfast was totally delicious too!”

    Adrienne

  • For a 20th anniversary celebration, this was perfect. We enjoyed a massage on-property, which was fantastic. The level of service, in our opinion, was above a 5-star.”

    Aubrey

  • Hapuku Lodge + Tree Houses was easily one of the most memorable places we’ve ever stayed. Every meal felt thoughtful and local, and the service was warm without being over the top.”

    Mark

  • The pool area had spectacular countryside views, with deer and a backdrop of spectacular mountains. One evening we used the jacuzzi in the ‘secret garden’ area – a truly magical spot under the stars!”

    Adrienne

  • The weather was cool during our stay, but not too cool to experience the mineral swimming pool for the first time – the hype is real! We warmed up in the spa followed by a sauna.”

    Michelle

  • Every bit of our stay was perfect. The staff were all wonderful and made an effort to know us by name. The spa was very good value compared to 5-star resorts and was a lovely, personal experience.”
