Treetops Lodge

Nestled in the heart of a 1,000-hectare native forest, in the cradle of Māori culture, Treetops Lodge offers a haven of peace half an hour from Rotorua. This award-winning lodge is the vision of naturalist John Sax, who dreamed of a place where nature lovers could thrive in harmony with New Zealand’s wild heritage. The architectural style of Treetops evokes the pioneer era through its natural materials such as wood and stone. Within the villas and cottages, the rooms reveal warm tones and furnishings dominated by leather and wood, creating a cosy, rustic-chic atmosphere. Superb views of the valley and the forest can be admired by the fire, in the privacy of the lodge. The Treetops Chef will whip up succulent dishes prepared using local and seasonal produce, partly sourced from the estate's organic vegetable garden. Depending on your mood, you can have your meals in the restaurant or opt for the library. The staff are always attentive and eager to cater to your needs and your desire for discovery. The ecolodge is teeming with outdoor activities, suitable for both parents and children alike. As Rotorua is the trout fishing capital of the world, this is a must-try activity in the region. Hikes, swimming in the lakes and streams, helicopter tours, and local cooking workshops will wonderfully pace your stay. Not forgetting the Spa, where expert hands provide treatments inspired by Māori traditions.
