About this property
Woodward House - The Ultimate Base for Families
Welcome to Woodward House, the ultimate base for your next multi-generational family getaway. This expansive five-bedroom home is designed for large family groups who want to holiday together without feeling cramped. Nestled in a quiet residential area, Woodward House offers the perfect mix of social hubs and quiet retreats, all centered around views of Lake Taupo and Mt Tauhara.
With a layout that works perfectly for two or three families holidaying together:
The Adults` Retreat (Upstairs): Three light-filled bedrooms with Queen beds allow the adults to relax in comfort. Two of these rooms open directly onto the balcony, perfect for catching the sunrise over the lake.
The Kids` Zone (Downstairs): The lower level is a dedicated space for the younger members of the family. With two bunk rooms and a ping-pong table in the garage, the kids can have their own `base` while the adults enjoy the quiet upstairs.
The upper-level living area is the social hub of the house. Whether you’re cooking a big family breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen or firing up the BBQ, there is space for everyone. The bright conservatory is a highlight, offering a warm spot to enjoy the views in any season.
The home has five bedrooms offering various bedding configurations and three bathrooms.
Upstairs:
Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen Bed (with Ensuite)
Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 1 x Queen Bed
Downstairs:
Bedroom 4: 1 x Single-over-Double Bunk Bed & 1 Single Bed
