Dining Room

At Huka Lodge, Taupō, New Zealand

The main Dining Room overlooks the terrace and Waikato River and serves country-style breakfast, a light à la carte lunch, and a daily-changing gourmet dinner. Breakfast runs 7.00am–10.30am, lunch 12pm–2.30pm, and dinner begins from 6pm. Current information starts drinks and canapés at 5.30pm, while an older owner itinerary says 6.30pm. Official descriptions call dinner both four-course and five-course, so no single course count is reliable. The room is exclusive to resident guests, seats up to 50 or hosts 60 for cocktails, and is wheelchair accessible. Under-16s cannot join communal drinks or dine with other guests.
