“What an absolutely amazing area. The rooms are wonderfully elegant and the surrounding trees and river make for such amazing views — especially from above in the helicopter, an experience offered at the Lodge that you must not pass up. Located right on the Waikato River, this is a wonderful place for fishermen and outdoorsmen alike. Just a fab spot... More

There is something quite personal at Huka that one doesn't usually get even at superior hotels. Greetings by the Assistant Manager (and not only on the first day), attention to one's needs, the pre-dinner cockail hour, the dinners in various locales through the main building and in the gardens (very intimate--each area has a fire place and individualized service) and...

Many people have commented on the beautiful gardens and the luxury of this place. I agree with all of those comments, but I suggest that something that first-time guests need to know in advance is that there is a lot more choice available here than some of the previous reviewers on tripadvisor seem to have realised, so you need to...

My wife and I were in New Zealand for business and the oppurtunity came up to spend a few nights at Huka Lodge. We had been recommended by others that had stayed there to not miss the chance to stay. Well what can we say. When we booked, we wanted to stay somewhere special and this is exactly what we... More

We went here on our honeymoon and were so pleased. From the moment you arrive, your blood pressure drops. The setting is lush, luxurious, comfortable and beautiful. Louis and his team went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable. They are happy to arrange any outings you would like in the area or give you a... More

We unfortunately had too little time at this beautiful place and will be returning for a decent length of time on our next New Zealand visit. The surroundings - the river, gardens and nearby Falls, are truly beautiful and and the Lodge itself a relaxing and luxurious haven. From the time we arrived and were made to feel most welcome...

This was our fifth or sixth visit to Huka Lodge - a destination we choose when we have something REALLY special to celebrate, a birthday with a zero, or a personal achievement of some sort. It is the most wonderful hotel and we have NEVER been disappointed. The staff are so professional, friendly, capable, informed, easy on the eye ...... More

I visited Huka lodge with my husband on our honeymoon last November. We debated a lot whether going to a lodge was going to be worth the money and then also whether Huka was the one to choose. Ultimately we decided to go with Huka since we had heard so much about it and it was the oldest and most... More
