하푸쿠 로지 & 트리 하우스

너무 실망스러워요 😞 1년 전에 처음 갔을 때는 정말 맛있었는데, 이번에는 너무 실망스러웠어요. 미슐랭 스타 요리를 기대했는데, 셰프가 나가고 학생들이 요리하고 있었어요. 음식은 맛도 없고, 프레젠테이션도 형편없었어요. 밥과 야채는 너무 익었고, 소스는 맛이 없었고, 오리는 씹기가 힘들었어요. 그 가격에 괜찮은 식사를 할 수 있어야죠.

This is a real treat - if you want to feel special even for one night this is the place - fabulous staff / food / surroundings and of course the TREE TOP room - stunning views from every window. For a technophobe - there may have been too many remotes in the room - but it was fun finding out what they all did !! We wish we could have stayed longer to make use of the many facilities available to guests - but we will be back in the winter to see that view with snow!

Hapuka Lodge & Treehouses is truly a unique place. The accommodations and common spaces are exceptional in appearance and cleanliness. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond to assure our stay was enjoyable. We would, without reservation, recommend Hapuka Lodge!

We thoroughly enjoyed our luxury treehouse , with wonderful views across the fields where stags with magnificent antlers reside .the food was exceptionally good, as was the attention to detaivis a vis personal comforts and sevice, throughout. We highly recommend Hapuku .

This is an A++ boutique lodge. We stayed for 3 nights in Treehouse #5. The treehouse accommodations were of the highest quality. Great views. Unique experience. Very comfortable and modern. Top-notch all around. Breakfast and dinner were included. The food was outstanding. Each dish was expertly presented, creative and the flavors exploded in your mouth. For dinner each night had a different menu. The dining experience is what I have come to expect from highly rated/reputable/renowned restaurants. Our meals were some of the best we have had in our many travels. Service was impeccable. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. You can tell that there was a lot of thought that went into creating a quiet, beautiful and natural landscape. The land around the property is amazing with a grove of olive trees in the back and large New Zealand deer in the front. The landscaping has been designed to attract certain birds. The sounds and sights of birds were ever-present (and very soothing). Finally, all of the staff we met (at check-in, check-out, dining or just on the grounds) deserve high marks for customer service. They all had great energy, pleasant personalities, and were very attentive. You could tell they wanted you to have the best experience. Collectively, this was one of the best assembled support staff we have been exposed to in our many travels in the USA or around the world. We did not use the pool area or the SPA. But both looked first-rate. If we ever returned to the Kaikoura area, we would definitely stay here again. If you can swing the higher pricing, definitely stay in a treehouse. Thanks to Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses for delivering a very memorable experience.

We had a “wow” moment when we entered our treehouse… complete with two panoramic windows, our room was spacious and extremely well appointed with a superb attention to detail - shower & free standing bath, vast array of additional toiletries, coffee/tea making facilities with freshly baked cookies and a complimentary half bottle of wine (daily room service with fresh towels & top-up of beverages & cookies). We couldn’t quite believe the privileged scenes - the Pacific Ocean on one side, and the mountain range from the other with herds of majestic deer in the foreground. The whole site is well managed, with an olive tree plantation, and a vegetable garden with salads & herbs used in the breakfasts & dinners. There is also a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses is roughly 15 minutes drive from Kaikoura, where there are a few shops, cafes & information centres as well as ‘the Peninsula’ where seals can be found (in season).
