Thanks so much for the detailed TRs ! Was hoping to visit next month but your TRs confirmed what I already knew - that we ' d need at least 2 weeks which we didn't have & doubt we'll make it before April . Looking forward to your next TRs , will plan on a possible Kiwi spring visit ' 16 then .
One of our favourite destinations sans Amans .

On one of our trips , even 5 weeks was insufficient!

" ... from an isolated lodge with only a few rooms and visiting Huka at capacity, the main lodge felt crowded at times. That being said, for dining, they will spread out the guests so that issue won't be pressing.

Huka Lodge does some pretty sensational special events during May-Sept including guests chef's, themes like opera, wine, or the Art of Living. "

Been wanting to stay since early 1990 when it was full during the Commonwealth Games ( for the Royal family ) & haven't managed to get back to since . The RWC few years ago didn't give us that needed window either .
