We had a “wow” moment when we entered our treehouse… complete with two panoramic windows, our room was spacious and extremely well appointed with a superb attention to detail - shower & free standing bath, vast array of additional toiletries, coffee/tea making facilities with freshly baked cookies and a complimentary half bottle of wine (daily room service with fresh towels & top-up of beverages & cookies). We couldn’t quite believe the privileged scenes - the Pacific Ocean on one side, and the mountain range from the other with herds of majestic deer in the foreground. The whole site is well managed, with an olive tree plantation, and a vegetable garden with salads & herbs used in the breakfasts & dinners. There is also a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses is roughly 15 minutes drive from Kaikoura, where there are a few shops, cafes & information centres as well as ‘the Peninsula’ where seals can be found (in season).

Beautiful facility, great service. Every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and competent. The treehouses are *gorgeous* -- having a view out both sides, to the ocean and mountains, is stunning. Loved the walk out to the ocean in the morning -- short but lovely.

Amazing accommodations with beautiful views, wonderful food and fantastic hospitality! We stayed in two of the treehouses. Not many stairs, but high enough for beautiful views of both the countryside and the ocean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with great amenities including a cozy seating area with a fireplace. Both breakfast and dinner were included, and were beautifully presented and delicious using so many ingredients from their own farm. Lots of great cocktail options and a nice area to enjoy drinks before dinner. We also enjoyed the pool, hot tub and sauna. Close enough to Kaikoura to enjoy all the activities there, yet unique and special. One of our favorite stays in NZ!!

What a fantastic experience we had staying at the Hapuku. Our room was in the lodge looking over the pool and towards the spectacular mountains. The room was perfect. We'll maintained clean and functional. They have thought of small things to make the guests stay more pleasant. The mineral pool was lovely. Not hot but great especially for some laps. We enjoyed the complementary bikes and a nice walk around the property and to the beach. The food was next level. I could not fault it. I have left the best till last the staff. They were so helpful and their attention to detail was appreciated. Such a fantastic weekend. Thankyou.
