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.

No Smoking or vaping

The bach is well set up and has the charm of a well loved family home. The heat pumps and fireplace were a real bonus as we had amazing frosts with snow on the mountains. Fiona is prompt and helpful. We love being able to stay here - a special place.

We loved staying in this house, lots of space, well set up with wood stove & firewood, heaters, blankets, and well-set up kitchen. Felt very homey, loved being able to walk across the road to the lake side. Great place for our 3 families to meet in the middle of the North Island. Thank you hosts!!

Great location and house

Great location, not too far from Taupo central and literally stone's throw from the lake. Well-kept clean house that can easily accommodate a large family. Two living spaces to relax in with plenty of DVDs to keep young ones occupied. Accommodating hosts, easy to communicate and no dramas.

Lakeside get-away

Great property with good views across Lake Taupo. All facilities you need for a sneaky get-away. Proximity to state highway makes for easy access with the only downside being the road noise from passing trucks.
