The Wilson Family - of five siblings, designed and built this luxury lodge with unique family tree houses. Set on a deer breeding farm, snuggled up at the foot of the Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Range, on the outskirts of Kaikoura. The perfect base to encounter a variety of wildlife such as dolphins, seals, albatross and whales.
Grab the lodge’s mountain bikes and discover the Hapuku trails. Would your children love to learn to surf? There is an iconic surf break at Mangamaunu. Go swimming in the ocean or at the pool on-site. Join a fishing trip and have the chance to catch crayfish.
Nested ten metres above ground, over a canopy of native Kanuka trees is your unique tree house accommodation. A luxury hut overlooking native bush, mountains and the coastline in the near distance. Relive your childhood with your children, as you make your way up the steps to an adventurous night in the treetops.
On the upper level, you will discover the master bedroom. Once the kids are in bed, soak in the jacuzzi with a glass of wine in hand. The second bedroom is on the first floor with a private balcony. Dine at the on-site restaurant for fresh local produce and tasty New Zealand wine.
