Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses
The treehouse of your childhood dreams; souped up to maturity amid the Kaikoura mountains



More luxury wooden pods than treehouses, these unique creations from architect Tony Wilson, perched up in the Manuka trees, look out haughtily over olive groves and the immense Kaikoura mountains. Exquisite as they look on the outside, the comfort factor is upped further when you climb in: expect a Kholer spa bath, monsoon shower, a high-tech Danish wood burning stove and Bose music system. There’s even a mini kitchen with fresh coffee beans and grinder and in house chefs who can deliver meals to your pod on a rainy day when you’ll seldom feel closer to nature whilst being this comfortable.
