About this property

Private home - Perfect Stay for visiting Tongariro & Southern Lake Taupo

Summary:
This sunny home at the southern end of Lake Taupo is perfect for families and groups. Enjoy fishing, rafting, and the trout hatchery, with the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Ruapehu ski fields just a short drive away. With 5 bedrooms (including a bunk room), 2 bathrooms, and a modern kitchen, the property comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. Ideal for a memorable and convenient getaway!

The Space:
This charming home offers all the comforts of a full kitchen, 2 modern bathrooms, and a laundry with a washer and dryer. The ground floor features a bunk room, bathroom, and spacious living and kitchen areas. In summer, open the large doors to access a sunny deck with mountain views and a large flat lawn perfect for family games and entertaining. In winter, stay cozy by the indoor wood fire or enjoy the heat pump.

Upstairs, you'll find 2 double rooms, 2 small single rooms, and a second bathroom. Please bring your own linen, or hire it for $12 per person, which includes sheets, pillowcases, and towels. Note that beds are provided with pillows and duvet covers, and guests are expected to make their own beds upon arrival.

There’s ample parking for boats.

This is a classic bach with a relaxed feel—imperfections and the occasional bug are part of its charm. If you’re seeking hotel-level perfection, this might not be for you. It's a great bach for a family, snug fit for 2 families or a small group, ideal for a short stay or an overnight stop after exploring Tongariro.
