Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses

The treehouse was fantastic…unique accommodation that was brilliantly designed, comfortable and provided a great stay. The food was also exceptional, with good choices and great quality. We really appreciated the early breakfast on our last morning and opening the kitchen a half an hour early for us. The public facilities were top notch. The service from Janet and Mike was incredible and genuine, with Mike’s martini quite memorable. So, why not 5 star? There was a really strange manager-like person who seems clueless about hospitality. He fawned over the only other guest in the dining room one night, seated the other couple the second night, and came into the lounge twice while we were having pre-dinner cocktails and stared at us and left. But he didn’t have the common courtesy to introduce himself, welcome us, or see how our stay was. This creepiness and rudeness ruined an otherwise flawless stay.

Such a relaxing experience. Our family felt welcome since arrival and well taken care of throughout our stay. Every detail is taken care of and staff are very friendly. Food is amazing 👏 Service is beyond expectations. Facilities are lovely (spa hidden in the forest, mineral heated pool and cold plunge, veggies garden and nature walk trails) Thanks you Emile and everyone on the team.

This is a real treat - if you want to feel special even for one night this is the place - fabulous staff / food / surroundings and of course the TREE TOP room - stunning views from every window. For a technophobe - there may have been too many remotes in the room - but it was fun finding out what they all did !! We wish we could have stayed longer to make use of the many facilities available to guests - but we will be back in the winter to see that view with snow!

To sit in the beautiful room overlooking the mountains and the deer herd was simply magical. It was raining but we still enjoyed just watching the deer. Bed was comfy and room was quiet (we were in a room upstairs in the main lodge). We appreciated the complementary wine, snacks and drinks. But the real hero is the chef. Our dinner was OUTSTANDING - a real culinary masterpiece. And I’m not a big breakfast enthusiast but the egg/hummus/toast combo ranks as one of my fave breakfasts ever. We hope to come back!

Hapuka Lodge & Treehouses is truly a unique place. The accommodations and common spaces are exceptional in appearance and cleanliness. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond to assure our stay was enjoyable. We would, without reservation, recommend Hapuka Lodge!
