Huka Lodge

Located on the banks of the Waikato River near Taupo, Huka Lodge is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated retreats, combining natural beauty with timeless luxury. Established in the 1920s as a fisherman’s camp, it has evolved into an exclusive lodge renowned for its refined hospitality and dramatic setting beside the Huka Falls.

The property features just 25 rooms and suites, each opening onto manicured lawns that lead to the river. Interiors combine classic elegance with comfort, featuring rich textiles, handcrafted furnishings and large windows that frame the surrounding wilderness. The Owner’s Cottage and Alan Pye Cottage provide expansive private residences for groups or families seeking additional privacy.

Dining is an integral part of the Huka Lodge experience. Seasonal menus highlight the best of New Zealand produce, with meals served in intimate settings ranging from the main lodge to outdoor pavilions and secluded garden nooks. The wine cellar features an impressive collection of local and international vintages, enhancing every meal.

Activities include fly fishing, hiking, golf and helicopter tours over nearby geothermal landscapes. Guests may also simply relax on the grounds, enjoying the tranquil river views and gardens designed for contemplation and leisure.

Huka Lodge is a symbol of understated elegance, where heritage, nature and luxury combine to create one of the world’s most distinctive lodge experiences.
