About this property
Perfect accommodation for visiting Tongariro and Southern Lake Taupo
This sunny home at the southern end of Lake Taupo is perfect for families and groups. Enjoy fishing, rafting, and the trout hatchery, with the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Ruapehu ski fields just a short drive away. With 5 bedrooms (including a bunk room), 2 bathrooms, and a modern kitchen, the property comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. Ideal for a memorable and convenient getaway!
This charming home offers all the comforts of a full kitchen, 2 modern bathrooms, and a laundry with a washer and dryer. The ground floor features a bunk room, bathroom, and spacious living and kitchen areas. In summer, open the large doors to access a sunny deck with mountain views and a large flat lawn perfect for family games and entertaining. In winter, stay cozy by the indoor wood fire or enjoy the heat pump.
Upstairs, you'll find 2 double rooms, 2 small single rooms, and a second bathroom. Please bring your own linen, or hire it for $12 per person, which includes sheets, pillowcases, and towels. Note that beds are provided with pillows and duvet covers, and guests are expected to make their own beds upon arrival.
There’s ample parking for boats.
This is a classic bach with a relaxed feel—imperfections and the occasional bug are part of its charm. If you’re seeking hotel-level perfection, this might not be for you. It's a great bach for a family, snug fit for 2 families or a small group, ideal for a short stay or an overnight stop after exploring Tongariro.
Guests have full access and exclusive use of the house for the duration of their stay.
This is our holiday property, so you are required to self checkin. We are available on mobile for all queries throughout your stay.

A local convenience shop and food truck is located at Omori and stocks the basics. Otherwise Turangi has New World for groceries.
There are restaurants in the neighbouring bays or Oreti and Waihi.
The hot pools in Tokaanu are around 10 min drive and perfect after day up the mountain.
Ski field Whakapapa is 45 minutes.
Turangi is 15 minutes and offers basic shopping and a supermarket, National trout centre, tour operators for Tongariro National Park and other attractions.
