Set in 17 acres of park-like grounds on the Waikato River, 300 meters upstream from the famous Huka Falls near Taupo, Huka Lodge has 20 secluded suites, all positioned for maximum privacy alongside the riverbank. Guests can relax and enjoy this truly magnificent property or experience a variety of activities: world-class trout fishing, golf, skiing, white-water rafting and horse trekking. Many scenic attractions are also within walking distance.
The cuisine at Huka Lodge features only the freshest of New Zealand produce and dining is table d'hote, although there are also a number of different private dining areas available — these range from the Wine Cellar, Library, Trophy Room, and Lodge terraces to dining alfresco within the grounds. Huka Lodge is a member of the 'Leading Small Hotels of the World' and is consistently ranked as one of the world's top retreats — a reputation of which it is justifiably proud and insists on maintaining.
