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!

We loved our stay and felt very privileged to be able to experience this wonderful Lodge

10/10

Huka Lodge lives up to its recommendation as a luxurious but unpretentious lodge in a stunning setting.

10/10

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.

10/10

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.
