Designed by New Zealand-born interior designer Virginia Fisher, our twenty Junior Lodge guest suites and two exclusive multi-bedroom owners’ residences, the Alan Pye and Alex Van Heeren Cottages, are the epitome of elegance and comfort. Each residence opens onto verdant views of the gardens and the flowing, deep turquoise Waikato River. With king or twin king-single beds, intimate lounge areas, luxurious en-suite bathrooms, dressing rooms, and outdoor verandas with day beds. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows offer a magnificent view of the river, which adds to the plush atmosphere.

The two owners’ cottages are designed to provide the ultimate Huka Lodge hospitality experience. Both are perfect venues for exclusive gatherings of your family and friends. Here, guests enjoy the best of both worlds: a private, self-contained residence with access to all the Huka Lodge luxuries, including a private butler.

The Lodge Restaurant on site is not just a special place to dine, but a hub for guests to gather throughout the day. As the sun rises and the mist blankets the river, guests savour a breakfast fit for royalty before embarking on their day's adventures. As day turns to evening, the Lodge takes on a new persona. Candlelight illuminates the dining space, casting shadows on the walls and paintings that adorn them. It's here, at the end of the day, where guests come together to share their stories and reflect on the day's experiences.

The Lodge also presents a series of unique private dining spaces that create an unforgettable atmosphere for the most special of occasions. From the cozy library to the grandeur of the trophy room, dining at Huka is unlike anything you, your loved one, or your small group have ever experienced before. It's not just the ambience that sets it apart, but the cuisine as well.

The award-winning show gardens at Huka Lodge provide a serene backdrop for a gentle and refined retreat. The 17-acre park-like grounds offer quiet, shaded paths for exploring, rolling lawns framed by ancient willows, towering Californian Redwoods, and high hedges providing a natural border for pastimes like tennis, croquet, and pétanque.
