Baillie Lodges, the new owners of Huka Lodge in Taupo on New Zealand’s North Island, has unveiled a new website and revealed the new name of its exclusive owner’s residence, the Alex van Heeren Cottage, in honour of the
award-winning luxury lodge’s former owner and founder of The Huka Retreats.
Ideal for groups of friends or families travelling together, the four-bedroom Alex Heeren Cottage is Huka Lodge’s premium exclusive residence. Fully self-contained while offering access to the lodge’s generous inclusions, the Cottage is set on a private sunny bank overlooking the Waikato River as it begins its descent towards the thundering Huka Falls.
The new website follows the format of Baillie Lodges sister luxury lodges, rich in images, lighter in copy while remaining comprehensive in content, and offering a friendly and informative set of Q&As for guests and downloads for travel industry partners and media.
Huka Lodge has a rich history spanning almost a century, with Irishman Alan Pye first establishing a high-end camp on the shores of the Waikato River, famous for its trout and offering excellent fly-fishing, in 1924. In 1984, Huka Retreats founder Alex van Heeren saw the potential for a world-class property and his vision is regarded as the genesis of luxury lodging, a phenomenon now leading tourism trends around the world.
