About this property

Unique Waterfront Bach. 913 Acacia Bay Road. Taupo

This 1960`s Kiwi Bach is situated on a waterfront site in Acacia Bay. The property has riparian rights giving you your own beach in the centre of the bay complete with the use of our mooring 30 metres off the beach directly in front of the bach.

Acacia Bay has a northeasterly aspect providing total shelter from prevailing winds from the south, southwest and west.

This is a truely unique property and one of a handful of properties on the lake with its own beach and mooring facility.

The bach has two levels. The upper level providing two bedrooms, toilet/bathroom (bath), lounge/dining and kitchen. The lower level has a similar layout including two bedrooms, two toilets and two showers, laundry, kitchen and dining area.

The bach layout is well suited to accommodate two families as each level is self contained.

The property receives all day sun from sunrise to to late evening sunset. Two large decks make full use of views, sun and shelter. The west facing rear deck is very shelterd and receives the last of the evening sun.This is a warm sunny location.

Views are extensive and varied. Being so close to the water you can not avoid watching and being entertained by the water activities. The public boat ramp is only 75 metres along the beach.

Native trees surround the property attracting special bird life with ducks, swan, heron and gulls in abundance on the lake edge.

There is a small dinghy for your use. Fishing is excellent just metres from the beach.

Acacia Bay is only ten minutes from town, has its own convenience store and a restaurant/bar facility.

This location with its own beach access in a delightful sheltered bay has its own unique appeal. All water activities are available at your doorstep. Should you wish to pursue other activities Taupo is the logical destination. Taupo is now regarded as the major events centre in New Zealand and caters for all interests - Refer Destination Taupo website for more information.

Great location
We had a great family getaway. We took our boat and the access to lake was handy and we were able to moor our boat out front of the property. The little beach was great for the children. Overall fantastic place to relax and have fun. Host John was quick to respond to us.

It was a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with our furry companions.
We had a fantastic weekend, staying here with our dogs and couldn't have asked for a better location. The view was absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking scenery both during the day and at night. The location was ideal, with plenty of beautiful walking trails nearby that we thoroughly enjoyed exploring.

Another great stay at Acacia Bay.
I have stayed before at this beautiful place. My family loved it, so much so we stayed an extra night. The house has everything you could need. The log fire is great, very cosy on winter days. The dogs couldn't believe their luck!

We cant wait to go back!
The photos of the property were exactly right. Absolute lake front. Only a few steps and youre right in the water. A large porch, to sit and watch the boats launching only a few houses along. The lounge / kitchen was warm and room for everyone. The bedrooms all had plenty of blankets. The owner John was super easy to deal with. Great communication. We stayed in winter but plenty of heating options, including a fire.

First time staying in Acacia Bay and we could've have had a better spot. Staying right on the waters edge was perfect with the jetski and kids. Loved the view of the lights from the lounge at night. Communication with John was great. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay despite the weather. Kindling thoughtfully laid in the fireplace brushed away the chill, complemented by a few glasses of red wine. The view is stunning no matter the weather.True bach vibe, recommend fully. We will be back.

Lake Front Views
Arrived and was pleasantly surprised at how close we were to the lake. Very cozy batch and all you need for a family of 4. I like Acacia Bay as it feels like a holiday as opposed to being on the other side with the masses also we were protected from the South Wester which was strong on the first day. Cool fishing memorabilia on the walls would like to stay again.

A wonderful stay
My husband and Bertie our dog had a wonderful weeks stay here. The location is perfect - close enough to town with it being a pain, and in a beautiful peaceful spot on the lake. The views are to die for and having the lake at the bottom of the garden is awesome. It's just a shame that it was too cold to swim in it in early spring. The batch itself is a little tired but had everything we needed and was comfortable. Overall we loved our stay here and will definitely be booking to stay again.
