Nestled in 2500 acres of 800-year-old native forest, Treetops Lodge & Estate is a lifelong dream realized by owner and passionate naturalist, John Sax. The uniquely New Zealand experience is a sanctuary and retreat of breathtaking terrain, offering superior accommodation and adventure. Located in Rotorua, the Maori heartland and trout fishing paradise, the lodge’s elegant, ecology inspired architectural style was derived from the country’s pioneering past. Timber and stone finishes echo the natural beauty and simplicity of the great outdoors. Treetops features seven streams, onsite trout fishing, four lakes and over 40 miles of adventure trails. New family experiences include photography safaris, helicopter tours, Geocaching hunts, luxury treks to spectacular waterfalls and a 4WD experience. The lodge’s spa offers experiences within a choice of day spa and residential wellness programmes to inspire, refresh and brighten journeys. Treetops has purchased the nearby golf club, Kinloch, which has attracted the attention of golf enthusiasts and luxury travellers.
