A Honeymoon in the Trees

I’m so glad everyone enjoyed our first Honeymoon post last month. This month, I’m super excited to share another unique hotel and a peek into a stay there from a past bride and current blogger, Jenn. Jenn + Josh traveled to New Zealand and stayed in a trrehouse! How cool is that!! I’ll let her talk more about her amazing honeymoon. Thanks Jenn!

From Jenn, “My husband and I traveled to New Zealand two years ago for our honeymoon. We started in Auckland and road-tripped/ferried about 950 miles south to Queenstown. The most memorable place we stayed at during our time in New Zealand was the Hapuku Lodge and Tree Houses in Kaikoura. Kaikoura is situated on the east coast of the south island approximately 100 miles south of Picton (the ferry port between the north and south islands). We were fortunate to stay in one of the five tree houses at the Hapuku Lodge that overlooked vast greenery, the dramatic mountain range, and the emerald waters of the pacific coastline! Our tree house was equipped with a wood-burning fireplace, heated towel rails and bathroom floor, a couple’s spa bath, a rain fountain shower that opened directly onto a tree-top deck, and a hand crafted custom-made extra-large king bed. Most of the furniture throughout the lodge is designed by the owners and handcrafted by local wood workers.”

“The staff treated us like royalty at the Hapuku Lodge. Everyone on site was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had during our stay there and breakfast was included when we booked the tree house. We ordered homemade muesli parfaits, pancakes with caramelized bananas and the freshest of fruits, and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. It was all so amazing and beyond delicious. :) There are many things to do in Kaikoura if you’re up to it — whale watching, swimming with the dolphins, kayaking, hiking…the list goes on! The husband and I decided to take advantage of our stay in the tree house so we hung out around the beautiful lodge, lounged on their hand crafted patio furniture, took walks around the property, and enjoyed everything the lodge had to offer.”

“If you’re looking for a unique, elegantly rustic and romantic place to spend your days during your honeymoon, the Hapuku Lodge and Tree House in Kaikoura is for you. You will not regret your decision. New Zealand as a whole has so much to offer!”

Thanks Jenn! New Zealand is already on my travel list and the Hapuku Lodge sounds pretty amazing!
