Widely regarded as one of the finest retreats in the world, Huka Lodge is renowned for its fine food, unobtrusive service and idyllic location on the banks of the Waikato River, just a short walk from the spectacular Huka Falls. Rich warm floors, antique country furniture and roaring log fires are features of the main lodge building – and a large deck provides comfortable alfresco seating and glorious views. Further outdoor seating – and outdoor fires for those cooler evenings – can be found dotted around the seven acres of beautifully manicured grounds. Luxury and style prevail in the twenty spacious guest rooms, each of which is discreetly positioned along the riverbank with floor-to-ceiling glass showcasing the wonderful views! White-washed walls and romantic beds draped with mosquito nets create a look that is both refreshing and stylish – not to mention the chic bathrooms with double sinks, separate showers and spa baths which look out on to a small private garden area. Set away from the main lodge on an elevated promontory above the river and almost completely hidden from view, the beautiful four-bedroom, fourbathroom Owner’s Cottage is the perfect retreat for those seeking their own exclusive hideaway. reakfast and dinner are included in your stay – you can choose to dine either in the dining room with the other guests, or tucked away in one of the many private dining areas such as the library, the huge wine cellar or outside in the gardens. The lodge has an outdoor swimming pool and spa pools – and croquet, petanque and tennis can all be enjoyed too. Mountain bikes and fishing rods are provided for guests’ use.
