Treetops Lodge & Estate - The Estate

The Estate is 2,500 acres of restored, native virgin forest and ancient trees, a haven for native birds and wild game. Treetops is your own private playground of spring fed streams, cascading waterfalls, trout filled lakes, valleys and bluffs.

Discover over 70 kilometres of trails by horseback, mountain bike, hiking or 4x4, at your own pace. Experience the unique sights, sounds and scents of the native New Zealand forest. Enjoy the tranquillity that comes from being close to nature.

Be Still...Listen to the calls of the birds and the rustle of the wind. Feel the breeze. See sunlight shimmering through the canopy of green. Take in the beauty and majesty of the native forest. When you are still, you begin to see.

Be moved...When you enter the native forest leave the baggage of your life behind. Experience the timelessness of nature, its eternal cycles and the life it supports.

Be Refreshed...Being close to nature refreshes and uplifts the soul. The giants of the forest all around you are breathing. Be humbled when you gaze into the canopy of a 500 year old forest. 250 generations have come and gone since it was a small seed. Be like the trees - strong and majestic. Share their energy and share their breath.

Be Inspired...Notice the smallest things around you and be inspired by the endless beauty of nature. Experience its peace and its patience and the joy that it brings. Reflect on your own life and the things that truly have lasting value to you.

Dream...Think of things in your life that are truly important and precious to you... your partner, your family, your friends, the things you do. Dream about what you really want to be, what truly gives you satisfaction and what you are doing about it.

Be Still. Be Moved. Be Refreshed. Be Inspired. Dream...

It is our hope that your time in the hills will be an inspiration that will encourage you as you journey on through the valleys of life.
