An enchanting landscape of lakes, mountains and waterfalls forms a vast backdrop to this iconic property that’s welcomed everyone from Billy Connolly to Bill Gates and, on her last visit to NZ, the Queen. ​

Huka has quite a reputation so, if you're expecting high standards, you won't be disappointed. You will be surprised though. In spite of its celebrity status, there's no snobbiness; just pure relaxation: a secluded lodge in an idyllic spot with unspoilt scenery and river views as beautiful as you could imagine. The suites are almost as gorgeous: expansive, light, airy and bringing the outdoors in, with the fabulous Owner's Cottage and Alan Pye Cottage offering extra privacy. Just the thing for the weary celeb. ​
