About this property
Lake Taupo greatness...
Our Great Bach is located near the end of a beautiful cul de sac, just off SH1 near Waitetoko/Te Rangi-ita. It is just one row back from a large, grassy domain and not even a minutes walk to the lake edge and beach. The bach is ideally suited to 1 or 2 families with bedrooms on both floors, and an extra lavatory and laundry downstairs. Views of the lake from the private balcony, which is furnished with BBQ and table and chairs. Wonderful location and great atmosphere. Boat ramps in close proximity and easily accessible. Easy to anchor boat on the beach which is just a hop, skip and a jump from the bach.
Easy fishing access to the Tauranga-Taupo River and only a short drive to the Tongariro River.
