Huka Lodge

Huka Lodge is a historic luxury lodge set along the Waikato River near Lake Taupo, offering upscale suites, private cottages, and park-like gardens within a secluded riverside estate in New Zealand.

Long regarded as one of the world’s most revered and inspirational luxury accommodations, Huka Lodge is set among 17-acres of established, parklike gardens along the banks of the emerald-blue Waikato River near Lake Taupō on New Zealand’s North Island. With humble beginnings more than a century ago as a fisher’s camp with white canvas tents pegged along the trout-rich river, Huka Lodge has today secured its place as one of the country’s oldest and most celebrated luxury lodges. In 2024, Huka Lodge closed for a carefully considered ‘centenary redesign’ and reopened its doors in March 2025, ready to welcome a next generation of global luxury travellers.

Offering accommodation within 18 Junior Lodge Suites, one Lodge Suite, the four-bedroom Owner’s Cottage and the two-bedroom Alan Pye Cottage, guests luxuriate in an exclusive hospitality experience. Huka Lodge is located 5 minute’s drive from central Taupo.
