Huka Lodge must be the most famous place to stay in New Zealand. The Queen has stayed there, and other royals. The setting on the banks of the Waikato River is exceptional. The main lodge is warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated with Scottish and fishing and hunting themes and colours reflecting those of the river. The rooms are pretty well... More

From the moment we arrived, to our departure 24 hours later, we were absolutely delighted with our Huka Lodge experience! The location is stunning, the ambience of the Lodge both classy and tasteful. Every member of staff is attentive, courteous and thoughtful - they seem to anticipate your needs or wants before you even realise them yourself! We were welcomed... More

We stayed at Huka Lodge in November 2012 as the last stop in our honeymoon. What a perfect way to end our trip. Taupo is beautiful, the Lodge exudes warmth and hospitality, and Louis and Rudy took such care to make our stay memorable, relaxing and romantic. We had private dinners every night - each in locations more romantic than... More

What can I say, it is an experience in itself. This Lodge is located in a very serene area with beautiful gardens. The atmosphere is cozy where you can do nothing but relax. Of course the food and wines are incredible. Lovely stay.

Having traveled for over a week in a camper van, Huka Lodge was more than just a sight for sore eyes. For my 24th birthday, I had asked my mother if she could put us up at this fabulous resort for a couple of nights to break up an otherwise long and un-luxurious journey through New Zealand in a camper...

After reading the other reviews, we can't agree more. From the welcome you receive, the unbelievably beautiful grounds, the rooms that are so special, the great food and wines, to the individualized attention to every detail, it just doesn't stop. They know how to make you feel special. We've travelled all the the world and stayed in some unbelievable places.... More

Incredible location, incredible service. The property; right on a gorgeous river, manicured lawns, private nooks for dining, tennis court to die for, heated pool, shady tropical walks, cozy yet elegant lodge with many private places to relax, and all VERY private. Could NOT be better. The service, from the warm welcome, to planning any kind of excursion, suggestions, always available... More
