An Iconic Riverside Lodge in Taupo

On the banks of the Waikato River near Lake Taupo, Huka Lodge is New Zealand’s original luxury lodge, with 20 suites and two residences in park-like gardens, with fine daily-changing dining, a spa and river activities.

A century of riverside lodge tradition

Huka Lodge sits on the banks of the Waikato River near Lake Taupo in 17 acres of park-like gardens near Huka Falls, New Zealand’s original and oldest luxury lodge, founded in 1924 as a fishing camp and refreshed in a major refurbishment. It has 20 guest suites, in Lodge Suite and Lodge Suite with Fireplace categories, plus two exclusive residences, the Alan Pye and Alex van Heeren cottages.

Dining is fine, with a daily-changing menu, a vast wine cellar, a restaurant, bar, lounges and a River Room terrace, with signature dining venues around the estate. There is a spa with grounds designed around serenity and a new wellness offering. Experiences run from fly fishing and lake cruising to helicopter experiences, jet boating and active pursuits. Part of Baillie Lodges and holding two Michelin Keys, it suits couples, anglers and heritage-luxury seekers who want an iconic riverside lodge.
