Huka Lodge

Long regarded as one of the world’s most revered and inspirational luxury accommodations, Huka Lodge is set among established gardens along the banks of the surging Waikato River near Lake Taupō on New Zealand’s North Island.

With humble beginnings nearly a century ago as a fishermen’s camp made famous for its trout-rich waters and featuring white canvas tents set along the river’s edge, Huka Lodge has secured its place as one of the country’s oldest and most celebrated luxury lodges with an impressive heritage, having welcomed some of the world’s most influential guests over the years.

Twenty Junior Lodge Suites along with two exclusive owners’ residences, the Alan Pye Cottage and Alex van Heeren Cottage, dot the 17-acre Huka Lodge parkland, each privately set and opening onto verdant views of the gardens and the hypnotic, ever-changing waterway beyond.
