Huka Lodge began in 1924 as a modest fishing camp on the Waikato River and has grown into one of New Zealand’s most influential luxury lodges. A recent centenary redesign has refreshed the interiors while preserving the lodge’s country-estate character. Outdoor experiences range from the activity that started it all — fly fishing — to hiking, golf, jet boating and helicopter excursions across the volcanic landscapes of the North Island.

Huka Lodge is New Zealand’s original luxury lodge, evolving from a 1924 trout-fishing camp into a secluded Waikato River estate with 17 acres of gardens, intimate fine dining and deeply personalized outdoor experiences.
