About this property

Waipahihi Charm & Tranquillity

Nestled on the shores of Lake Taupo, this timeless 1930s bach has been cherished by the same family for over 50 years. Just a stone`s throw from the lake, it offers unbeatable views and a tranquil setting. With three cozy bedrooms, plenty of character, and a newly renovated bathroom, this charming home is perfect for families or couples. Whether you`re here for golf, shopping, fishing, skiing, sightseeing, or simply seeking a year-round retreat

This centrally located property is just 5 minutes from Taupo town center and a 3-minute drive from the 2 Mile Bay Sailing Centre. It`s the ideal spot to unwind by the water with a refreshing drink and a delicious wood-fired pizza. If you enjoy walking or biking, the Lions Walk is just moments away.

The home offers three bedrooms: Bedroom 1 features a king-sized bed, Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed, and the third bedroom includes two single beds. The bathroom has a shower and vanity, with a separate toilet for added convenience.

The Glowworm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from.

I booked this for staff working in Taupo. The host was good with comms ahead of the booking and the only downside was because parking was a bit limited which the host was clear about.I can't say beyond that how the accommodation was but if it hadn't been good, I certainly would have heard about it.
