About this property
Rainbow Point Pad - Large elevated bach with lake and mountain views, Free Wi-Fi
This is a basic, old-school Kiwi bach—no frills, just the way we know and love. It comfortably sleeps two families and is set in a quiet neighbourhood, just a short walk across the road to the lake and swimming at Rainbow Point, or a little further to Wharewaka—a favourite local swimming spot!
The home features a generous second-level balcony, perfect for enjoying lake and mountain views on a sunny day. There’s also a games room on the bottom floor with a pool table and kitchenette—ideal for keeping everyone entertained.
Please note: the lounge does not have blinds or curtains.
You`re close to the popular Lions Walk, a scenic path along the lake edge, and within walking distance to a convenience store, fish n chip shop, and restaurant. A short drive takes you to the 2 Mile Bay boat jetty, and in just 10 minutes, you can be soaking in hot pools or enjoying Taupō`s shops and dining options.
With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, WiFi, and a large heat pump, this home is a great base for your next Taupō holiday.
