Te Aka Treehouse Nelson Creek

Nestled deep in the native forest on New Zealand’s West Coast, Te Aka is a boutique off-grid retreat where luxury meets wild beauty. Created with intention and care, this eco-conscious sanctuary invites you to unplug, breathe deeply, and return to the rhythm of nature.

Every aspect of Te Aka is grounded in kaitiakitanga — the Māori principle of guardianship — honouring the land, its stories, and the life it sustains. The name Te Aka, meaning ‘vine’, speaks to the native rātā that weaves through the forest canopy and to our role as caretakers, intertwined with this place.

Whether you’re here for a romantic off-grid escape or sharing the experience with another couple, friends, or family, Te Aka offers space, comfort, and rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the wild while also indulging in the warmth, privacy, and refined comfort of boutique off-grid living. The main treehouse features a king bed and forest-facing deck, perfect for slow mornings and unhurried evenings. The second treehouse offers a queen bed and single loft, giving you room to retreat or reconnect.
