About this property
Luxury retreat for two beside the great lake
The ideal location for a relaxing getaway, our spacious apartment is the perfect retreat for two. Enjoy privacy, gorgeous lake views, nature walks, onsite parking, and independent access off an extensive deck overlooking the lake. Entry is into a spacious lounge with kitchenette, fridge/freezer, dual hobs, dishwasher and microwave. The separate bedroom has a king-sized bed, wardrobe and bedroom furniture and opens out onto a timber deck and lawns. The adjacent bathroom has twin basins, toilet and a fully tiled shower. The whole apartment has underfloor heating for those cooler months. Your accommodation is located on the lower level of our home in Whakamoenga Park, a private gated community 10 km from Taupo CBD and 7 km from the Acacia Bay store and The Bay restaurant. Our guests are welcome to make the most of the communal facilities of gardens, bush walks, tennis courts, and lake access while respecting the natural environment and the privacy of local residents. Having travelled extensively we enjoy meeting fellow travelers. We are resident hosts, and available to advise you on things to do to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. French is also spoken.

About the host
Hosted by Lynne
We are both New Zealanders and in the recent past owned and operated a B&B lodge near Taupo for 12 years. Now, in a new phase of life and at a new address, we are offering our self-catering apartment as accommodation. We live on site and are able to give you advice and make recommendations for things to see and do in the area. We love to travel and enjoy meeting fellow travelers. French is also spoken.
Why they chose this property
We love the views, the proximity to the lake and the peace and quiet of the area we now live in. The forest surroundings and the bird life are amazing. There is a sense of community here and a commitment to caring for the environment in our piece of paradise. This is perhaps the only community of its kind in New Zealand, where the land surrounding each constructible section is covenanted, the forest to remain intact.
What makes this property unique
The apartment enjoys fabulous, uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains with close proximity to the lake. It is totally private with its own entrance, with no other properties visible. The property is above the lake with walking access via a few different pathways.
