General Geographics Feaures

Huka Lodge is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty. The crystal clear waters of Lake Taupo are fed by mountain streams and are home to some of the most sought-after Rainbow trout in the world. The spectacular and mighty cascades of water forming the Huka Falls are a short walk from Huka Lodge, on the banks of the Waikato River.

Your arrival point at Huka Lodge is also where guests gather to breakfast before setting off for their day’s activities, to have a drink before dinner and to sit beside the log fire reading a magazine while gazing toward the river from time to time.

A beautifully appointed room with panoramic views of the Waikato River and toward Huka Falls, the Lodge Room is a major focus. Guests are drawn to the magnificent fire, comfortable seating and its rich warm ambience.

The Lodge Room is used by guests frequently during the day and the scene for pre-dinner drinks each evening. The terraces provide quiet spots to sit in the sun and relax during the day. It is always tempting to slip away to the Library with a book - this room can also be used for private dining in the evening.

Wherever you choose to dine, by the outdoor fireplace, on the terrace, or at a private table under the stars you find unique food, an extensive wine selection and impeccable service. We are happy to go to any lengths to provide an appropriate and memorable setting. Just across from the main Lodge building, under a knoll and down a short flight of steps is our wine cellar. With vaulted ceilings and four side chambers, it has an ambience all of its own. Cellaring for thousands of bottles of New Zealand and the world's finest wines provides a remarkable backdrop to this dining space.

The Trophy Room

The Trophy Room is created especially for small conferences and business meetings (up to 20 people) or for private receptions (up to 40 people).

A notable feature is the fine collection of African hunting trophies decorating the walls. Comprehensive technical equipment is available, supported by full secretarial services. The Trophy Room is also suitable as a day room and for private guest dining.

Explore the park-like gardens and flower borders or soak in our hot pools. Enjoy a game of tennis on our all weather court. Relax playing a game of petanque. A short walk beyond the gates brings you to the spectacular Huka Falls.

Lake

After a hearty breakfast at the Lodge, set off early for a superb day on the Lake. Lake Taupo lies in the very heart of the North Island. Fed by numerous rivers and streams, originating from mountain streams, Lake Taupo has the most beautiful crystal clear waters.

The Lake is enclosed to the south by a trio of mountains - Mt Ruapehu, Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Tongariro. The northern boundary is bordered by rolling hills and vast pine forests.The number of potential recreational activities is vast - the famous fishing, of course, draws many to Lake Taupo's shores. A boat can take you to the many isolated bays and coves fringing the great Lake.

You may choose to try a spot of harling in the hope of catching a trophy trout, picnic in your own bay, waterski, swim, cruise by the unique Maori rock carvings or take a walk onshore.Sunset on Lake Taupo is magnificent and best admired from an area known as the Western Bays. A barbecue on the beach can bring a day on the lake to a fitting conclusion - the stars are clearer than you can ever remember, the deep quiet only punctuated by the gentle lapping of the water.

Huka Lodge Fishing

Taupo is home to some of the finest Rainbow and Brown trout in the world. The challenge of landing one can be met with the assistance and the legendary knowledge provided by Huka Lodge's own fishing guides.

We can provide access to a choice of 23 streams and rivers nearby. A helicopter can land in the grounds and fly you to a wilderness area to fish in locations providing outstanding natural beauty and solitude. Four-wheel drive vehicles can take you off-road into equally outstanding locations where magnificent fishing is combined with great challenge.

A boat can take you to the many isolated coves and bays fringing the edges of the great lake. Here you can troll for Rainbow trout, swim and picnic near the beautiful crystal-clear water.

A half or full day trip using a powerful jet boat to take you to explore fishing pools normally inaccessible to anglers. A similar trip is also available by raft on the famous Tongariro River.

Hunting
Depending on the season Taupo can offer hunters Red and Sika deer, duck shooting, turkey shooting and wild boar hunting. Again in magnificent, wild and challenging countryside with the best guides the area has to offer.

Bungy Jumping
Again, the Waikato River is the scene for this 150 foot jump. An absolute must for all genuine daredevils and certainly one of life's achievements.

Walks
Detailed maps are available for charted walking routes all noted for their natural scenery, signage detail and safety. Designed for various fitness levels and offering a lot of different time options for people who enjoy walks.

Guides can also take you on special flora and fauna walks and share their knowledge of all those things so unique to the New Zealand ecosystem.

Bike Hire
Take a mountain bike and explore some forest trails with your own picnic or join a guided four-wheel motor bike tour for a slightly faster pace.
