Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses

Amazing all inclusive experience with super helpful and accommodating staff

The treehouse offers fantastic view both on the ocean and the mountains, the appartement is beautifully designed and decorated, the pool and spa area is superb and food was delicious. The staff is very friendly and caring about customers.

We got only unlucky with one bed in the twin bedroom with a damaged bed slats which made the sleep a bit uncomfortable.

Amazing staff, amazing rooms

I thought it was all magical - not a bad word to say about this wonderful place

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!!

EVERYTHING was excellent, but especially wanted to mention the food. It was absolutely exceptional!

World class views, facilities, rooms, food, and most of all, staff! The setting is spectacular, with stunning Big Sur like Mountain views on one side of your room, ocean on another side. Excellent 104 degree stone hot tub, 94 degree lap pool in a green natural setting, sauna and spa. Breakfast and dinners included and top quality. Chefs were fantastic, even taking two lobsters we had bought on the drive down from Blenheim and cooking a dish to be added to our dinner. The bucolic property is full of birdsong, with sheep and deer grazing in the fields where resort trails will take you down to the ocean. Rooms were super modern and elegant, with automatic bidet toilets, automated shades, internet tv, fast WiFi, fireplaces, balconies, amenities. Staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, always searching for ways proactively to improve the stay, add an amenity, arrange a booking. We will absolutely return, drawn to Kaikōura’s considerable attractions by this destination resort.

We stayed one night in the lodge during the state of emergency and fires in October. Emile and the team made the stay really special. We were actually a little sad the power came back on in the evening as a night with candles would have been awesome! The generator was running all the key elements when we got there and the cold beer and fantastic dinner were a nice relief from the rubbish weather. The room was huge and very comfortable and had direct access to the pool which Emile kindly got up and running quickly. Such a great experience under unusual circumstances!
