Towards the end of the 1920s a young Irishman called Alan Pye discovered a very special place in Taupo and established Huka Lodge.

Conditions were spartan: the Lodge building contained Pye's bedroom, the kitchen and a large dining room. Guests slept in heavy canvas tents pitched over wooden slatted floors, however its fame and reputation grew and the visitors book read like an angler's version of 'Debrett'.

In 1984, the present owner Alex van Heeren fell under the same spell. His resources and passion have added luxury to the location and taken Alan Pye's dream through to today's reality.
