About this property

PERFECT Private Family Lifestyle Paradise

Kia Ora

This is a Quiet, rural lifestyle property in a fabulous area of Taupo!

5 bedrooms with two bathrooms, well equipped kitchen with a pretty mountain view…

**Please note this is a Family Bach and you will have to provide your own linen - sheets, pillowcases, towels & tea towels, or let us know and at an extra cost we can have the linen provided and beds made before you get there.**

5 acres of gentle grazing (room for a couple of horses/ponies) should you want to bring them too!! (Please ask first - as neighbor grazes to keep grass down).

Plenty of parking in a quiet, private home. Enjoy a beer or wine on the deck with the view of the mountain or relax in the patio area and have a family bbq…. just a 5 min or so drive to town.

Plenty of riding for the horse enthusiast (large grass verges along our road, and the Taupo Equestrian centre not far either!!!) perfect for a couple families that want to get together in a quiet relaxing environment!

Bring the boat or boats!!! Heaps of parking, safe to leave outside as house is not viewed from the road..

Hard day, why not soak in a thermal hot pool while the kids play at the water park just 6 mins down the Road!
(DeBretts Thermal Spa and waterpark)… Better still go alittle further to Wairakei, better for adults to enjoy a quiet soak together (we highly recommend this one)

Dinner out?? In 10 mins you can be in the centre of Taupo, enjoying an awesome meal, (Dixie Browns is good) or you could grab a coffee and sandwich at Industrie Cafe just a couple minutes down the Rd or a no fuss meal at the Local diner @ Stag park (1950s American style diner), both great eatery’s we highly recommend!

If peace and quiet is what you're after, not far from town then this is the place to stay!! Quiet & private is why we love this place, the neighbours are awesome, and the view is of beautiful farmland with the lake just in view (until the pines grow) Perfect for a horse lovers getaway or a couple of families to get together.

There are rubbish bags provided, and a recycling bin as well.

STRICTLY NO PARTIES, STAG/HEN DOS!

Ngā mihi - We hope you enjoy your stay and hope to see you again soon 😊

PLZ NOTE: we do have security cameras around the outside of the property to protect from intruders while vacant.

Please treat our home with care and before leaving turn off lights and heated towel rail. Let us know if anything gets broken so we can sort it for next guests.

Top spot
Great rural location which suited us as we were in Taupo for Motorsport. Only about 14mins to race track. Great security for race cars, plenty of room for trailers etc. Highly recommend if you need a bit of space.

Family getaway
Your family Bach is amazing and beautiful location is great not to far away from everything you need, fit the whole family in unfortunates that the decking need some TLC to it. It was hard for my mum who has back problems and my older uncle and aunt to get up and down the decking step that has been broken and some broken pieces and the rubbish when we first arrived was disappointing to see as it looked like something had gotten into it so I had to put it in another bag other then that ist is a stunning place thanks for having us

Amzing place
We have now stayed at this property 2x and absolutely loved our time here. It is great for multiple families cohabitating for the weekend. We had 5 families here and it was great that we could put all the kids in the bunk room and they had there own space to go crazy and us adults could chill in the lounge area. Thanks for allowing us to use your property. Im sure we will return again

Had a fantastic stay. Lovely location out in the country. We stayed with two other families and there was plenty of space for everybody. A couple of hand towels would have been great and some more staples like tin foil but all in all, throughly enjoyed it

Great batch for a weekend getaway with family and friends. Although we accidentally visited the neighbours a couple of times, it was easy to find and a great spot for people from across the country to meet. We will definitely be coming back for more bbq's and weekends away in the future!

Birthday/Christmas Celebration with Friends and Family
We wanted to celebrate birthday & christmas with friends and this was the perfect place to accommodate 4-6 families. It was quiet, spacious and is also close to town. Shops were close on the 25th so we decided to go to the lake in Kinloch. Kids enjoyed it. We brought everything we needed in the kitchen and the bedrooms eventhough there were some linens available. We were able to use the bbq and the 3 fridge/freezer were very convenient.since we brought cakes and cupcakes.

Family Get Together
This property was ideal for our family get-together. Lovely quiet spot, plenty of room for the grandchildren and easy access to Taupo. The communication with the owners was excellent but Bookabach did not send through the property details and key access as promised on the night before our stay. We had intended leaving home early on the day of our trip but it took some time trying to contact Bookabach. We then emailed the owners directly and we received a response a little later. Bookabach did send the info but it was received two days into our stay. I note from a previous review that this has happened before. No reflection on the owners though who were very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Natalie or Richard

Host profile image
Hi and Welcome to our little place of peaceful tranquility, away from the hussle and bustle of town, but not to far ;)

Hubby is a Home Kill Butcher and Mechanic, and I am a Barista and Bar Manager.
We both like to hunt, dive and fish as do our 4 kids and hopefully our 6 grandchildren!
Rich loves to dive as well and most of the kids do too....LOL I don't like sharks so diving is not for me!

I love my horses as does our youngest daughter, we trek and she competes from time to time.

The youngest daughter and her partner and myself are all volunteer fire-fighters and first responders and in our down time this keeps us busy, but we love it!

We all love Taupo and everything it has to offer and we sincerely hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

This property is peaceful and off the road so is great for that relaxing getaway! Have horses?? Bring them too! We have an awesome road for road riding and the Equestrian Centre is not too far away either! (just ask at time of booking)

Either just relax and play games, watch abit of TV, have a BBQ with the whanau or just read a book here it offers that quiet roomy retreat.

If you are interested in things to do there is plenty within easy driving distance!
From hiking, shopping, bowling, swimming, boating or more chilled like dinner out then look no further!

What makes this property unique

Close to town but private and peaceful!!
There is a heat pump for you to use
Board & Card games
Well equipped Kitchen
Big outdoor area with a BBQ
Grazing should you want to bring your horse or horses.
Plenty of parking and space outdoors
