Huka Lodge- Owner's Cottage (Neuseeland Nordinsel ⁄ New Zealand) (Maximum number of guests: 8)
Lake Taupo is situated in the middle of New Zealand’s North Island. It is the largest lake in New Zealand, which developed through the outbreak of a Volcano and is famous for its clean waters. Trouts feel very comfortable here.
New Zealanders have a popular hobby that you should definitively give a try: Angling! Other sportive activities on the lake are swimming, parasailing, kayaking or sailing.
The Waikato River emanates from Lake Taupo. Before it flows over the impressive Huka Falls into the Wairakei, it wraps around the HUKA LODGE, which is one of the best accommodations in New Zealand. Here you can expect only the very best.
Beauty of nature, luxurious furnishing and excellent cuisine are combined on a ground of 17acres and create a perfect holiday domicile for nature lovers. The Huka Lodge itself consists of 18 Lodge Units, one Suite and the wonderful Owner’s Cottage, which has a private setting on the Waikato River. It is a unique and wonderful place that offers peace and exclusiveness, which has already been appreciated by many famous visitors. As a member of “Relais & Chateau”, the cuisine complies with the highest requirements.
The Owners Cottage is situated on a sunny plateau above the Waikato River. Isolated from the rest of the Lodge, it was built already in 1937. It is a beautiful, private retreat with a stunning view over the river.
In the Owners Cottage you enjoy luxury with 4 exclusive bedrooms, a wonderful lounge with dining area and fireplace as well as a large terrace. In the courtyard there is another fireplace. Also Queen Elizabeth spent a holiday here. If you enjoy company, you will always find someone for a nice conversation in the lounge.
In the Main House there is a comfortable lounge, where you can sit at the crackling fireplace and take a drink before dinner. Each evening the menu with a new 5-course dinner is presented.
Usually you have dinner in the Huka Lodge together with the other guests. However, there is also a spacious dining area in the Owner’s Cottage. Moreover, you can also have dinner in the wine cellar, or directly at the river or in the Trophy room on the first floor of the Main House… There are numerous opportunities and the personnel will anticipate all your wishes.
The list of the activities is long. You can reach the Huka Falls easily by foot and also a ride in the pine tree forests is really a must. Moreover, there is an all-weather tennis court and golfers will be impressed by the golf course in Wairaki, which is one of the fifty best in the world.
You can undertake a variety of excursions, e.g. visit the geo-thermal park around Rotorua, book a helicopter flight to the active volcano “White Island” or visit Hawkes Bay, which is one of the best wine regions in New Zealand.
