About this property

The Lake House - Wharewaka Point Bach

The Lake House in Wharewaka sounds like a fantastic holiday home for families visiting Taupō. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. The spacious living area, complete with a large heat pump, ensures that guests can stay comfortable no matter the season.

One of the highlights of this home is its stunning views of the lake, which can be enjoyed from the deck while sipping on a morning coffee or enjoying a meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. The views of Mount Tauhara from the kitchen are an added bonus, making meal preparation a scenic experience.

For those who love water activities, the Lake House is less than 1km from the popular swimming beach at Wharewaka point, providing easy access to the lake for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and more.

It's important to note that the Lake House is a classic kiwi bach without Wi-Fi, making it the perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect from the digital world and enjoy quality time with their loved ones. The Garage in some images is not available.

Beautiful Stay
Great stay here! Had everything we needed and the kids LOVED IT. We loved the balcony and enjoyed some fish and chips from local stores. Close to beach for a swim and also close to town. Check in was easy and fast and quiet neighbourhood. Downstairs was a little chilly but nothing a few blankets wont fix. We are definitely coming back. Thank you again.

Fab family retreat
House was spacious and very well equipped for our family holiday. Plenty of warm blankets. Heatpump was wonderful and kept upstairs toasty warm. Downstairs did get chilly overnight but there were plenty of blankets available. Would recommend highly, and will be looking to come back again. A great place to base ourselves.

Breakaway from busy Auckland
It's very nice house in a nice quiet location with beautiful views with the new countdown not to far from the house. The only down part for me was the beds were to soft for me and my girlfriend cause we are use to harder beds but other than that we loved our stay in this house

Great place and super tidy.
It was a nice place, we enjoyed the time over there, super clean and tidy. It was mid winter, the heat pump upstairs kept us warm but there is no heater in room downstairs, so it was super cold downstairs. It would be nice if there is some heater for the bedroom downstairs.

Great Location with Good Views
Great location - close to the lake, Woolworths and 7-8 minutes from town. Also, great views to the lake and the mountain behind Taupo. Some aspects of the property are tired - lounge furniture, balcony furniture and beds. Appliances and cooking ware was good. It is a comfortable property.
