Huka Lodge, New Zealand's oldest and most celebrated five-star luxury retreat, set on 17 acres of lush countryside along the Waikato River's green banks, offers an unforgettable escape just upstream from the dramatic Huka Falls, mesmerizing guests with its ever-changing waterway.
The 25 regal suites, designed for serene elegance, feature air-conditioned comfort, king-sized beds, flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, coffee machines, separate dressing rooms, and palatial bathrooms with bathtubs, bathrobes, slippers, hairdryers, and premium toiletries. Each suite includes a private terrace with tranquil riverside views, creating an arresting sanctuary for couples, families, or adventurers. Complimentary Wi-Fi ensures seamless connectivity, enhancing the indulgent experience.
Dining is a culinary masterpiece, championing the finest local produce in charming alcoves framed by topiary hedges or the subterranean wine cellar, with the rumbling rapids as a backdrop. Guests can unwind at the Huka Spa with rejuvenating treatments, relax by the outdoor swimming pool or spa pool, play croquet or tennis, or explore the established gardens and riverside terrace with a cool drink. Free mountain bikes, a library, and curated activities like wilderness walks, Lake Taupo cruises, trout fishing, or scenic helicopter jaunts, supported by attentive concierge services and free airport transfers, create bespoke Taupo experiences.
Located a 10-minute walk from Huka Falls, five minutes' drive from Wairakei International Golf Course, and 15 minutes from Taupo Airport, Huka Lodge offers parking and effortless access to Taupo's premier natural and recreational attractions. This sophisticated haven delivers an exquisite fusion of opulent luxury and the vibrant allure of New Zealand's dynamic countryside heart.
