Upon researching for unique properties in NZ, the Hapuku Lodge came up several times and it just meant that we had to try it during our honeymoon. This was also our most expensive and luxurious spend throughout the entire trip...so the bar was set very high! While the experience generally met our expectations, there are some areas I feel require... More

Its very hard to really expain how comfortable and relaxing this beautiful Lodge is. The mountains on one side The Pacific Ocean ,the other, to just sit in the wonderful garden was to be at peace. The cooking delicious, and a particularly nice touch is that the owners of the Lodge plant one native New Zealand plant for every guest... More

Suggestions to fellow travelers: 1. For a fantastic, relazing, beautiful, and yes high-end, stay, you absolutely MUST stay here. 2. This place is a destination in and of itself; you WILL WANT to stay at least 2 nights. (And kaikoura is great too!) 3. Don’t think you can stay 1 night and then extend another night – they will be...

We spent 2 idyllic nights of our honeymoon at this impressive location near Kaikoura. The staff are extremely attentive, it is very relaxed yet everything is of a high standard. The honeymoon package included whale watching and a nighttime skywatchers which was simply magical. Top marks for us and the free wifi is the icing on the cake!

lovely accommodation, fabulous food and free wi-fi, it would be hard to find anywhere to stay that was better than this! We also really liked the art works on the walls and the main lounge had some ineresting books.

A lot of thought and effort has gone into making Hapuku Lodge a special place to stay. Complimentary minibar drinks, the bathroom facilities, the use of lots of (native) wood, the general setting of the place and the general feel of luxury. A three-course dinner and cooked breakfast are included and of very good quality. Staff are very friendly and... More

We stayed in a family treehouse. It was an excellent experience as we had the whole treehouse. I'm not sure I would have wanted to share the experience between two couples but for a family it worked well. Nice bathrooms, with lovely views and the treehouse experience was good. Of course, they are not really tree houses, just duplex rooms... More

We stayed for a night in the tree houses, they were just absolutely amazing. Everything about this property was faultless. The accommodation was an amazing experience with views to the sea and to the hills, the food beautiful and the hosts were so friendly, helpful and fun. Would recommend you stay here for a special occasion. It was our wedding... More
