About this property

Moetu Lodge - Pukawa Bay Holiday Home

Life is good at Moetu Lodge, and the views are even better! This charming holiday retreat is a special find in the tranquil lakeside town of Pukawa Bay.

Nestled in the treetops, you'll feel as though you're staying in a fairytale tree house come to life. The punga trees and native bush offer privacy and a haven for birds to visit. Enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive wraparound deck as you gaze out over the bush towards sparkling Lake Taupo.

There's plenty of room for the whole family, with four bedrooms that sleep up to eight, and Moetu Lodge is equipped with all the amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay, including Wifi, Smart TV and coffee machine.

Head out on the water and explore Lake Taupo, or relax in style at Moetu Lodge. The sun loungers are the perfect spot to park up and work on your tan, book in hand.

Moetu Lodge is well placed with world class fishing spots minutes away, making it an ideal keen fisherman's lodge. Enjoy the thoughtful set up with a fish preparation area and a cozy fire to warm up in front of after filleting your catch of the day.

After either a totally relaxing or adventure-packed day, fire up the BBQ and enjoy a casual Kiwi dinner on the deck with million-dollar views. A special highlight of Moetu Lodge is the spa pool, an idyllic place to unwind at the end of the day.

Great location for a quite get away fabulous views
The property was excellent for a family holiday. Even though it was clean it could do with a lot of cobweb removal and a clean of the oven. The couch could also do with replacing as the cushions slide off when you are sitting on them making it very uncomfortable to sit. Fireplace was excellent and extremely effective. Would be great if the spa pool had been turned on for our arrival by the cleaner.
