The Tree House

4.9(102 reviews)

About

The Tree House, on North Island, sits at Motukaraka, Hokianga, 168 West Coast Road, Kohukohu 0491, a setting on the far northern reaches of the island.

An average of 4.9 out of 5 across 102 reviews places it among the better-received addresses in the region, and further details sit at https://www.treehouse.co.nz/ for anyone planning a stay. Reaching the venue from Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupō, Napier, Wellington or New Plymouth takes some travelling, as the Hokianga sits well north of the main centres. The hostel category means shared accommodation rather than private rooms, which shapes what a first-time visitor should pack and expect.

Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands, so the country's islands are well connected for anyone extending a trip.

The North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, while the Southern Alps run down the South Island. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture, and both turn up on menus around the country. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country.
