Peaceful, lakeside, a retro beauty.. welcome to Kuratau Classic! Just a moments walk from the lake is where you'll find this Kuratau holiday home.
Loved and cared for by its owners for 50+ years, every piece of stylish retro furniture and decoration has a story to tell and highlights the character of the home. Enjoy your morning coffee and some fresh air on the decking looking out over the lake. Or snuggle up to a movie and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. Upstairs in the main house, are the first two bedrooms sleeping 4 guests, the remaining 2 bedrooms are found downstairs for another 5 guests. Also downstairs a second bathroom and kitchenette are provided, making this an ideal setup for the whole family to holiday together comfortably.
Head to the lake just a hop, skip, and a jump from your door and take the Kayak or dingy for a spin. Plus, there are a number of great walking and cycle trails in the area to enjoy. Taupo City or Whakapapa ski field are both just under an hour away, or Turangi is even closer just under half an hour's drive.
Put your feet up and relax, this Kuratau Classic has you covered! As there are fixed bench seats on a section of the deck, adults should closely supervise young children in this area to ensure they do not climb the deck barrier.
As the property has unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
