Huka Lodge

Long regarded as one of the world’s most revered and inspirational accommodations, New Zealand’s Huka Lodge has secured its place as the grande dame of luxury lodges. With humble beginnings more than a century ago as a fisher’s camp made famous for its the trout-rich waters, Huka Lodge is set among 17-acres of established, park-like gardens along the banks of the emerald-blue Waikato River.

Styled in the manner of a country estate, the main lodge is a hub for guests where open fires, generous lounging, a restaurant and convivial bar create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Sleep royally in one of twenty guest suites each richly layered in luxury and calm and opening to the enchanting waterway as it flows downstream to Huka Falls or take up residence in one of two exclusive owners' cottages for the ultimate retreat with family and friends.

A stay at the storied lodge places guests at the doorstep to a host of wonderful Taupō experiences, from the traditional sport of fly fishing to hiking, luxury cruising, golfing, scenic helicopter flights and more. Following a carefully considered ‘centenary redesign’ led by Baillie Lodges, Huka Lodge is set to welcome a next generation of global luxury traveller.
