Amazing experience

Top notch. Service was very attentive. Nothing was too difficult. Includes 5 course dinner, lunc (whatever you want) and breakfast. All superb. They even drop you off at beginning of a lovely walk that takes you back to hotel. Expensive but worth it for a special experience. Recommended

二人にとって特別な日を最高に過ごしたいなら。。。ここ！

素晴らしいサービス！全てに心意気が行き届いていて、非の打ち所がない。個人的な要望にも心地よく受け入れてもらえて、感謝です。施設もプライベート感が満載でとても気持ちよく滞在できました。そして、何より夕食が最高です。どれもすばらしい料理でしたが、おねがしたらソムリエがそれぞれの料理に合うワインを持ってきていただいて、料理がさらに引き立ちました！

Still New Zealand's best

The setting beside the river, the perfectly tended grounds with the green and white motif, the Lodge and the suites - all deserve the highest rating. We really enjoy having a choice of dining spaces and this time we were splendidly set up in the Library for dinner and in the spectacular outdoor "green room" for lunch. The staff are without exception helpful, charming and often fun.

What a relaxing place!!!

We love and enjoy our stay at the Huka Lodge, I'm always a hotel snob and this hotel is living up its standard. All the staff are very accommodating and polite. I could stare at the river view for ages! No wonder The Queen has come here 4 times!!! We had a hiccup with running out of hot water at night and we had to shower in other room, I usually would get very grumpy with it as this would not be expected with the price we are paying, but because everyone has been very nice to us, we were happily put up with it. We were then offered a discount on our bill at the end.

The Best of The Best, a Dream Location.

Absolutely the most opulent resort I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in luxury resorts all over the world. Although the cost of a room is in the upper bracket it was worth every penny, we are desperate to return.

Excelência em todos os aspectos!

Você logo se dá conta que está um lodge diferente quando um staff se posta na recepção para recebê-lo sem grande afetação ou cerimônia,e sim com genuína disposição de atendê-lo... Dai ao inúmeros encanto desse local singular, suas instalações e seus serviços são um crescente! Não há dúvida que está entre os melhores dos melhores que visitamos (e não foram poucos!). Aproveitem!
