XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Nestled in the North Island’s heartland volcanic plateau, offering a location of matchless beauty, Huka Lodge lies within 17 acres of manicured grounds. With just 18 Lodge Rooms, one suite and two private cottages, all within gaze of the Waikato River’s deep turquoise and hypnotic water, guests leave the real world behind.

Every last detail for guest comfort has been considered and service is both solicitous and seamless, designed to anticipate. The four–bedroom Owner’s Cottage and the new two–bedroom Alan Pye Cottage offer the ultimate hospitality experience, including personal chef, with both being absolutely perfect for family or friends. Guests venture forth, having breakfasted well, to enjoy the great variety of pursuits the area so richly offers.

Come the evening, guests gather together for pre–dinner drinks and to share stories of their day’s exploits. Over 20 private dining venues, all truly sublime and deliberately romantic, offer both indoor and outdoor opportunity for seclusion and ambience. Cuisine continues to define the legendary hospitality of this iconic property with the superb five–course dinner often being the end to a perfect day.
