About this property

Great location,Thermal plunge pool, Free WIFI

Relax with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on a choice of two decks while you take in the expansive lake view (peep of the mountain from the end of the front deck) and gorgeous sunsets.

Enjoy spacious open plan living with heat pump for cosy winters. The home is tastefully decorated and furnished (new carpet May 2018) with large screen TV, all new quality furnishings, WIFI and Bluetooth entertainment speaker so you can enjoy your own music.

There are three generous bedrooms with new comfortable beds, quality duvets and feather/down pillows. All bed linen (sheets, pillow cases etc), towels & tee towels are provided. Two bathrooms (one ensuite) and an extra toilet mean plenty of room for families or couples needing their own space.

There is plenty of off street parking for cars and/or boat.

The lake front is a 5 minute stroll away (hot water beach) with cafes, restaurants and a children's playground. The Taupo botanical gardens are 5 minutes away. If you fancy some pampering, the De Brett Hotel and Spa is 10 minutes walk or a two minute drive away. The De Bretts also offers hot springs for family fun or a relaxing soak. The Taupo main centre with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants is an easy 30 minutes stroll along the lake front with attractions such as hole in one golf, lake front coffee caravan, gelato stand (in summer) and fun mini golf course on the way. Kayaks, paddle boards and sail boats are available to hire on the lakefront during summer, or if you prefer something more relaxing, charter tours are available from the boat harbour at the end of Ferry Road.

Taupo is the central North Island hub for world renowned trout fishing, golf, jet boating, mountain biking, parasailing, bungy jumping, great lake walkways, and is the gateway to the central plateau ski fields and amazing Tongariro Crossing day hike.

You will love your time in Taupo and we aim to make your accommodation comfortable, relaxing and memorable.

Long weekend away with friends
Great location, great house, great communication. Was the perfect get away. Close to the lake. Close to the town but far enough from the busyness of the town. Would stay again!

Wonderful retreat
We loved our stay in this property! It was warm, cosy, clean, easy to access, close to town and the boat ramp, and well set up with everything we could have needed. The thermal plunge pool is pretty rare and we wished we’d been around more to use it so we’ll definitely be back!

lovely house, quiet, well appointed
We just stayed four nights. house easy to find. really clean, well appointed, lovely to stay in. Tāupo was cold, but the house was easy to get to warm. Really recommend it. It would suit a family - there are good sized bedrooms. We were just two though. very quiet place. two lovely couches to lounge on while we read books and looked at the lake. definitely worth staying

Great stay
This is a lovely property to stay at. We were there for 8 nights. Normally we'd be out and about most of the time, but we struck some bad weather, which meant we were at the house longer than expected. It was a great place to spend an extended period of time. The location is quiet and relaxing. The facilities are ideal, and the spa pool a great hit. Highly recommended and we hope to stay there in the future.

Thank you, your home made our holiday just so much better than we expected. Spacious, warm, clean and tidy. Comfortable beds. Well setup to accommodate a large group or family of 4 adults and two children. Hot pool was excellent for relaxing in after a long day of golf. Thank you again for a great holiday home.
