Between stunning mountain peaks and the mighty Waikato River stands the ultra-boutique Huka Lodge, one of the world’s most renowned luxury retreats, celebrated by guests including the late Queen Elizabeth II. Heritage Edwardian sophistication, sublime surroundings and vivid Māori cultural flourishes weave together to create an opulent escape unlike anything else — a thorough commitment to outstanding service and a world-class culinary team only further elevate the experience. As twilight lazily unfurls upon Huka Lodge’s flawless gardens, retreat to exquisite suppers backed by New Zealand’s finest local produce and allow the house sommeliers at the sprawling, subterranean wine cellar to curate the perfect vintage tasting as accompaniment.
