Huka Lodge is located in Taupo, in the central North Island of New Zealand and is considered to be one of the world's top retreats. It is supremely situated on 8 hectares of private parkland and mature trees on a bend of the Waikato River and 300 metres up-stream of the mighty Huka Falls. Some 70 years ago, it started as a simple fishing lodge. Today, the luxurious Lodge lures anyone seeking one of the world's very best retreats.

Huka Lodge has just 20 guest rooms and suites, each set privately in native bush, only meters from the swiftly flowing river. Huka Lodge also features the Owners Cottage, a picturesque wooden cottage originally built in 1937. It has four spacious guest suites all with super-king beds and magnificent en-suite bathrooms are anchored by a central living room, dining area, kitchen and a den. All the suites offer every comfort and that attention to detail that has become a Huka Lodge trademark. Visitors to the area can sky dive over the lake, taste geothermally breed prawns, learn about local authentic Maori culture and myths, and play golf on internationally acclaimed golf courses.

How to reach there:

• There are Huka Helicopter transfers from Auckland, Wellington and Rotorua.



• Driving by rental car or limousine generally takes 3-4 hours from Auckland, 4.5 hours from Wellington and 1 hour from Rotorua.
