Huka Lodge Hotel New Zealand

Huka Lodge offers a fishing experience for anglers seeking a challenge. It has a picture book location along the Waikato River near Huka Falls and the vast volcanic crater that is now Lake Taupo. It can now lay claim to being one of the world’s top angling retreats. The rooms have panoramic views of rushing water and sublime trees and there is a four bedroom owner’s cottage on a sunny promontory above the river.

The world’s most notable and notorious have stayed at Huka but what isn’t recorded is which of them enjoyed the catch-and-release fishing or who had the good sense to sit quietly and watch the river change from near turquoise to jade-green.

Paul Patane calls this lodge “angler’s perfection”.

Cashmere chic Huka Lodge near Lake Taupo is also one of the world’s top gourmet retreats. You’ll be as chilled out as the surrounds in a lodge that blends naturally with its stunning location. Food is a major fetish with dreamy à la carte choices. Executive Chef Michel Louws has a background of working in European Michelin starred restaurants. Balance, imagination and superb flavour combinations are the essence of his trademark skills.

Guests are encouraged to dine together. However, part of Huka’s unique appeal it is its original approach to dining. You can select where you want to eat: in the romantic indoor dining room, beside a log fire – anywhere with fantastic views and flickering candlelight – even in the library. We love the vaulted, wine-rack lined cellar room, the orchard or the riverside under the stars.
