Beautiful property and loved seeing the deer outside our window. The room itself was a 10+. Bed was super comfortable and the shower was wonderful. As excellent as the property was the staff and food were really the standouts. From being greater by the staff at our car when we arrived, arranging for a last minute spa treatment, to arranging a Breakfast box when we left at 4:45am to head off to our Dolphin encounter the staff was amazing. Both the included Breakfast and Dinner were Fabulous! Wish we had time to try lunch as well. Definitely on our list when we visit again and would stay longer.

We stayed in the lodge rather than the tree houses. Fantastic accommodation with wonderful attention to detail, and great facilities such as a large spa bath, gas fireplace. Breakfast and dinner were included, and these were excellent. Great views back towards the kaikoura range, and a 15 minute walk will get you down to the beach for more fabulous views. The Lodge arranged whale watching for us, and were very helpful in answering any queries we had. Would definitely stay again.

We felt that the experience for that price could have been a little more inclusive of extras, for eg, wine with dinner (having said that there was complimentary half bottle of wine and a couple of beers in the room, much appreciated!).

Breakfast and dinner are included in the rate, and the food was always beautifully presented, of high quality and nothing was too much trouble if changes were requested; local produce was featured and freshness evident; staff were welcoming and friendly, always happy to make your stay comfortable and pleasant; the tree house accommodation was spectacular, views to the sea, views to the snow covered mountains, all amenities provided, with fresh cookies daily and complimentary minibar with local produce - extra comfortable beds, lovely soft large robes to fit even larger people, a lovely large deep acrylic bath with supplied candles and a heated bathroom floor, smart curtaining to isolate bathroom area, bedroom area, an electric gas heater as well as reverse cycle air conditioner for heating - at times we were too warm, although outside was very cold especially at night. Modern facilities such as smart TV, smart toilet, smart lighting, etc., made the accommodation a joy to experience. No sensation of other guests at all. So private, and quiet. Watching the deer in the adjacent paddock running in the wind was entertaining, and watching the snow get lower over the few days we were there was nice.

Having to leave was sad. If I were to think of something that could be better it would be the shower head - I love the large rain type rather than the narrow nozzle head. And undercover parking outside or under the tree house might be nice too but not critical.

We only stayed here 1 night but wish we spent more time here. Amazing food (the dinner is 100% worth it!), super friendly staff, beautiful views with deer right outside, comfortable bed, amazing amenities. Honestly one of the best hotels/lodges I have stayed at.

It was incredible!

So many great little touches, for example automatic curtains, comprehensive bidet. Staff make your stay very personable. Well chosen wine pairings and a menu with plenty of local produce

The rural, peaceful and beautiful setting. Incredible changing views of the landscape. The flavors produced in the kitchen for breakfast and especially dinner were outstanding. Great staff!

Cannot think of anything.

What I was most impressed with was that we arrived very late as a result of a delay with the Wellington - Picton Ferry. Having communicated with the team at Hapuku Lodge and knowing we weren't arriving to very late the team prepared a lovely anti pasto for our enjoyment upon arrival - most appreciated!
