About this property

Walking Distance to the Lake - Sunny & Modern Home

Summary:
This beautifully renovated cottage is nestled in the desirable Hilltop ‘Bird Area,’ one of Taupō’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Just one block from the stunning lakefront, you’ll find a variety of restaurants, charming cafes, and ice cream vendors, all within walking distance. Take a leisurely 15-minute stroll along the lake to reach the town center, where even more local attractions await.

Your perfect lakeside retreat starts here!

The Space:
This stylish and sunny home comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests, offering the perfect space to relax and recharge. Enjoy ultimate comfort in the spacious lounge, complete with a heat pump/air conditioning for year-round comfort.

The two cozy bedrooms, featuring a queen bed and 2 singles, share a well-appointed bathroom. Both the master bedroom and lounge open onto a private deck, perfect for enjoying an alfresco dinner or savoring your morning coffee (you are welcome to use the coffee machine - BYO pods).

Cook up meals in the fully equipped kitchen or step outside onto the deck to bask in the sunshine. Indoors, unwind with unlimited Wi-Fi and a Smart TV for endless entertainment.

With free off-street parking, this home is also an ideal base for those attending Taupō’s exciting events. The start and finish lines of major events like the Ironman, Taupō Marathon, and Cycle Challenge are just 2 km away.

We are looking forward to hosting you!

The Neighborhood:
This house is in a perfect location; walking distance to the lake, the ‘Mole and Chicken’, ‘Social Club’ and ‘Jolly Goodfellows’ restaurants.

You can enjoy the lakeside walk to the town centre. It’s also a quick drive or walk to the nearest Foursquare Supermarket. On Sunday you’re merely blocks away from the weekly market.

If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only one block away so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start, and end is only a quick drive away.

Other Things to Note:
Breakfast items are not provided but there is plenty of tea, coffee, and basic cooking necessities such as salt, pepper, and oil.

A cot and highchair can be made available on request, but please enquire prior to booking (bedding for the cot is not provided).

Wonderful holiday home

My husband and I loved this fabulous holiday home. It was perfect for our three night stay in Taupo. Love the retro ouside style and the renovated interior. The front deck was a great place to relax and enjoy a little view of the lake through the trees and rooftops. Will definitely come back to stay here again.

Great base to explore Taupo

Fantastic little bach in a super location. Take the bikes and go and explore! Very nice neighbourhood. Loved sitting out on the deck with a little view of the lake. Kitchen well equipped for cooking at home, alternatively a great takeaway called Grasshopper just a 3 min walk up the road. Beds were super comfy. We would definitely stay again - just longer next time.
