Today's visitors to Huka Lodge would never guess its beginnings as a humble fishing lodge if not for its setting in a natural wonderland. Indeed, Huka was born more than sixty years ago when Alan Pye cut a path through the heart of North Island's bush so that he could enjoy tranquillity while fishing on the Waikato River. Since then, Huka has developed into a world-class resort deserving of its membership in Relais & Châteaux.
Staying at Huka Lodge combines the best of New Zealand hospitality with the ambiance of the region. Accommodations consist of twenty junior suites housed in a series of duplex cottages. Accented by cathedral ceilings, these spacious rooms are furnished with king-sized beds and wicker furniture, and feature sitting areas, mini-bars, furnished verandas, and skylit baths.
Though fishing is still a major attraction at Huka, the resort features a full array of activities. At the resort, you can enjoy tennis, croquet, and river flyfishing. Just a short distance away, you'll find the striking Huka Falls and the beautiful Lake Taupo where you can fish or take an exhilarating jet-boat ride.
For such a small resort, Huka's restaurant is a surprise. Its chef prepares delicious five-course meals. Arrive before the 8 pm seating, and take a tour of the impressive wine cellar. Here you'll find many rare vintages that will compliment your wonderfully delicious and romantic meal.
