Taupō
A luxury riverside lodge on the Waikato River, close to the Huka Falls.
Taupō sits on the northern shore of Lake Taupō, New Zealand's largest lake, formed by a giant volcanic eruption. The Waikato River drops over Huka Falls just north of town, and the area is known for trout fishing, geothermal pools and walks. One of the country's most celebrated lodges sits on the riverbank.
The river lodge outside town is the most exclusive; the lakefront in Taupō is the most convenient for restaurants and boat trips.
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a day hike, is an hour's drive away. Summer is the busiest season.
