About this property
2mins walk to lake. Wharewaka Point
Our two room accommodation has 1x Queen bed downstairs and 1x double bed, and 2x single beds upstairs. Note that double bed upstairs is part of a bunk set, single above and double below.
Our self contained unit has a kitchenette (microwave no oven), includes fridge/freezer, pantry.
There is a small bathroom with shower, toilet, basin. (note: small hot water cylinder).
We are 200 metres (2 minutes walk) from lake front, lovely beach for swimming, Wharewaka Point playground, close to lions walkway/cycleway which goes all the way to town centre (an easy 6km bike ride where swim start line is during Ironman races). Our accommodation is 7 minutes drive from Taupo town centre. Approximately 1km from Taupo Airport. Dropzone with trampolines and bowling is not far. Countdown is also just a few minutes drive.
This accommodation is behind our mainhouse, it has separate access and a separate walkway.
Enjoy 🙂

Location is great!
Short walk to the lake, short drive to a supermarket, and cafes. Our host Dorothy was excellent to deal with. We had a bit of luggage to unpack and carry to the rear of the property..two young men living in the main house came to rescue and helped out. Thanks!!
