Huka Lodge Huka Lodge

Retreat from the world, escape from the rat race and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of New Zealand's North Island. Hide out at Huka Lodge.

Huka Lodge sprawls across a picturesque natural scene along the banks of the Waikato River. This legendary lodge, founded in 1924 by charming Irishman Alan Pye, lies within the North Island’s magnificent heartland on 17-acres of manicured grounds.

Here, guests have the choice of comfortable Lodge rooms or, the more private and sumptuous cottages tucked away in the grounds. At Huka Lodge the attentive staff can also assist in arranging a wide range of activities; from a gentle game of petanque or croquet, to the more hell-raising, like bungee jumping and sky diving. And of course there's a definite must do, fly fishing for brown trout on Lake Taupo.

Meals up at the Lodge are a delight to the taste buds, as the chef serves only the freshest, locally-sourced New Zealand produce. For guests who land a catch of the day, chefs will even cook your haul for you and your companions to enjoy. But don't forget to take a snapshot first. Once it's gone, it's just another fish story.
