Reviews for Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses
Wonderful lodge
An outstanding lodge with friendly, knowledgeable staff, excellent food, unique treehouse accommodations, and an exquisite location that was a highlight of our NZ trip. The spa was lovely and professional. All in all, a beautiful retreat that we would not hesitate to visit again.

A Truly Special Stay
We stayed in one of the tree houses this past February 2026 and had a wonderful experience. I had expected something more rustic, but it was actually very comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The setting is beautiful. From our tree house we could see deer and mountains in one direction, and the ocean and olive groves in the other. It really did feel like being up among the trees. Inside, everything was well done—the seating area, balcony, and even the small kitchenette. The bathroom was a highlight, especially the shower with a view. The bed was also extremely comfortable. The pool, hot tub, and sauna area were peaceful and a great place to unwind. We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and appreciated how accommodating they were with different dietary needs. One evening we did the stargazing experience, which I would definitely recommend. The staff were consistently warm and helpful. Lisa, in particular, stood out, but everyone we interacted with was lovely. Overall, this is a very unique property in a beautiful setting, and we’re really glad we stayed here.

Stay longer if you can!
We had a fabulous stay at the Hapuka Lodge, we wished we had booked it for longer! The staff was amazing! We had a delicious dinner as well. The tree house room was beautiful and we loved having a pool to swim in. We would definitely recommend staying there!

Tree house suites are spectacular
We stayed in a treehouse suite and it was very cool, like a suite on its own 30 feet up. We were on a backroads hiking trip and this was our last 2 nights. They definitely saved the best for last. Best service of the 11 hotels we have stayed at(including 3 Rosewoods). Food was excellent, nice spa.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
We have been so incredibly lucky to travel the world and experience wonderful resorts. Without question, this resort is the absolute most wonderful place that we have ever stayed! This boutique hotel makes you feel like the only guests on site with the highest regard to service. From the front desk to the restaurant to the pool attendants, the service was exquisite. We absolutely loved our stay here. The tree houses are the most wonderful accommodations that we have ever been at….ever! We can’t wait to share this slice of heaven with everyone we know. Thank you for the most memorable and amazing experience!!
