The Tree House

5.0

About

Owner-built backpacker accommodation on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. The Tree House is set among subtropical gardens and native forest by the serene Hokianga Harbour. Choose from cozy cabins, shared rooms in the handcrafted wooden homestead, or camp among the trees.

The Tree House offers a peaceful retreat for independent travellers, cyclists, and backpackers—between Cape Reinga and the Waipoua Forest. Just an hour’s drive from Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands.

Conveniently located near the car ferry and the charming heritage sites of Kohukohu and Rawene. Discover local art galleries, cafés, and historic landmarks nearby.

Enjoy a hike through native forest to the hill lookout, with spectacular views of the Hokianga Harbour. No TVs, just trees, and an abundance of native wildlife. The Tree House is a hidden gem among gems.

Why backpackers love it: Peaceful off-the-grid setting, unique owner-built lodge, and the perfect base for exploring Northland’s wild west coast.
