Service, food, setting, rooms - all were fabulous. You get what you pay for. Yes, it's expensive but worth it. We loved it and we will return. more

We decided to spend a few days at Huka to recharge our pretty exhausted 'batteries'. It worked a charm. My partner usually takes three days to switch off but on the first day at Huka he asked if he could move in! We ate in a different private location each night - outdoors by the open fire, in the wine... more

For those who will only experience New Zealand once in a lifetime, staying a couple of nights at Huka Lodge is a must at any cost. Rooms are perfect, the grounds are immaculate and service is five-star. more

I looked for somewhere special to take my hubby for his 40th and decided on Huka. I was somewhat anxious since there are some less than nice reviews about the place.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Huka Lodge for a portion of our honeymoon touring Australia and New Zealand. Of the 6 different hotels we stayed in throughout of trip, the Huka was the only one that disappointed. Ironically, it was also the most expensive. (almost $2000US a night) I don’t usually go out of my way to... more

It reminds a much on a british countryhouse, the rooms and the garden are really stylish but still traditional. All rooms face towards the river which is really a great scenery to wake up every morning und walk along the wonderful shoreline to the... more
