Hapuku Lodge

Designed as a contemporary country lodge, with six lodge rooms, five luxury tree houses and the Olive House apartment, Hapuku Lodge positions guests to take full advantage of the Kaikoura experience. The Lodge sits tight between the mountains and the ocean, on a deer stud and olive farm just 7 km north of Kaikoura. Dining at Hapuku Lodge is all about preparing simple, fresh and flavoursome food sourced wherever possible from local purveyors and organic growers.

Guests have the choice of King or Queen rooms in the main lodge building or the opportunity to stay in a luxury Treehouse - individual houses built high up amongst a grove of manuka trees. This unique accommodation experience of sleeping amongst the branches is matched with the luxury of custom-crafted and ultra-comfy king bed, large spa bath and efficient Danish log-burning fireplaces.

Facilities:

• Wide-screen televisions, Bose and Ipod stereo systems personalised to guests requests, rain-fountain showers and heated floors complete the high-level (excuse the pun!) of guest comfort.
• With stunning mountain and sea views, the individual Treehouses are named after the native birds which have quickly adjusted to their new neighbours in the trees.
• Custom designed handcrafted furniture, including, according to guests, "the most comfortable beds in the South Island".
• DVD/CD players, flat screen TVs (not too big because surely no one is there to watch TV), 3 data ports for keeping in touch, plus coffee and tea pots.
•  Ipod / Bose Sound System personalized to the musical request of the guest in each room type
• Rates include dinner, bed and breakfast
