Set on 2,500 acres of 800-year-old native forest 20 minutes from Rotorua, the award-winning Treetops Lodge & Estate blends world-class luxury with unspoiled wilderness.
Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the rhythms of nature – exploring seven streams, four pristine lakes, and more than 70 kilometres of private adventure trails that wind through ancient trees and past cascading waterfalls.
A Signature Kiwi Experience
Treetops is so much more than a luxury lodge, it’s a sanctuary. A sanctuary that offers guests a chance to explore the natural world in depth while enjoying comforts of the highest standard. A highlight is the Estate to Plate philosophy, which celebrates sustainably sourced, organic produce from the property and surrounding region. Guests may even take part in a guided Estate to Plate Safari, learning about native flora, traditional foraging techniques, and the lodge’s deep connection to the land.
Each evening features a multi-course degustation dinner crafted from wild, local, and seasonal ingredients – a true taste of Aotearoa, both in flavour and in spirit. Wellness is also woven into the experience. The on-site Wilderness Spa offers a tranquil escape, with a focus on traditional therapies and Māori-inspired treatments. Indulge in a massage, then unwind in the outdoor hot tub as birdsong echoes through the ancient forest.
Golfers, too, are treated to exclusive access to The Kinloch Club, New Zealand’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature course, located at Treetops’ sister property near Taupō.
Couples’ Escape
Treetops offers the perfect setting for couples to reconnect. Stay in a secluded Luxury Villa, featuring an open stone fireplace and double-sized jacuzzi bath. From the moment you arrive, every detail is taken care of – think early check-in and late check-out, evening drinks and canapés, gourmet breakfasts, and that standout five-course Estate to Plate feast.
Choose to personalise your stay with one complimentary experience per villa, including:
Waterfall Picnic: hike through native bush to a secluded waterfall, where a gourmet picnic and bottle of New Zealand wine await.
Golf and Spa: one guest enjoys 18 holes at The Kinloch Club, while the other unwinds with a one-hour massage.
Wildlife Safari: a 4WD tour through the estate’s private grounds to spot wild deer, buffalo, boar, and native birds. Additional activities include archery, clay shooting, and fly fishing.

Family Adventures
Treetops is equally magical for families. With space to roam and activities to suit all ages, the estate makes it easy to create cherished memories together.
