Treetops Lodge & Estate

What an absolutely amazing experience! Lady Jo greeted us warmly when we arrived and made sure our stay with family was very special. Rooms were superb, food was delicious and the main building and grounds were stunning. Thank you to all the staff for making our weekend so special 🥰

Filipe, Jo and the team made this experience quite the experience!! Any amount of outdoor activities available but the true experience is inside the lodge itself, the incredible staff, amazing food and the ambiance of the lodge. A brilliant time was had by our team. We will be back!! Thank you.

This place is absolutely top class. It’s quite remote, nested within a huge estate with some spectacular hiking trails to explore (the 1h return hike to a scenic waterfall felt like I have only just seen the back garden … ). The interiors are amazing, stylishly decorated, with plenty of space; and spotlessly clean. Some good facilities there too - a gym, a sauna, and hot outdoor baths. The food and wine are sensational, they would warrant a fine dining review of its own. For a special occasions, you may like to dine in the library - it is a unique experience. I highly recommend booking a combined stay package between Treetops and its sibling property, the Kinloch Manor (“Forest to Fairway”). Also, both management teams were very supportive in terms of booking transfers and tours around Rotorua (from Treetops) and Taupo (from Kinloch), making the whole itinerary planning a lot easier.

My husband and I had been to Treetops Lodge before in 2012. We weren't disappointed with the property upon our return. It is beautiful with an amazing chef, spa, and estate activities. My husband had fun on his day of fishing with the guide. We stayed in a Valley Villa that was beautifully appointed with marble bathrooms and real fireplaces. We enjoyed the staff and meeting guests from around the world.

This is an amazing estate situated on over 2500 acres. The drive in becomes part of the experience as it takes nearly 15 minutes to get from the front gate up and down a winding road to the resort itself. Once you arrive, your greeted by Jo, the manager of the facility who made us feel incredibly welcome and gave us a tour of the facility and then helped us into our room. I’m not sure what it was about this location, but we ended up collecting all the various guests into a large dining table and ate family style for dinner each night. We now have friends that we will stay in contact with overtime. Despite the long ride into an out of the resort, the surrounding area is a lot of fun and the hikes on the property are simply amazing… especially up to a non-property waterfall. The food fantastic the scenes epic, we were sad to leave.
