Perched between the rugged peaks of the Kaikoura mountains and the wild Pacific coastline, this striking retreat offers a rare connection to New Zealand’s natural splendour. Choose from contemporary lodge suites or extraordinary treehouses elevated among native manuka, each with panoramic views and a cosy wood-burning fireplace. This is New Zealand at its finest, set between endless countryside, a deer paddock and the turquoise waters of Mangamaunu Bay.
Dine on seasonal menus at the onsite restaurant, where ingredients are sourced from the lodge’s organic gardens. When it’s time to unwind, head to Kawakawa Studio Spa for a treatment inspired by your surroundings. With natural healing therapies made with mostly certified organic and wildcrafted ingredients, take countryside relaxation to the next level.
