About this property

Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the peaceful setting of Whareroa Village.

Situated 33km west of Turangi on the southwestern edge of Lake Taupo. The magic of Whareroa is its relative isolation, great Lake views and Village style atmosphere.

Enjoy long sandy beaches, excellent boat launching, ski lane, and fabulous fishing. For those who prefer fly fishing, there is the famous Whareroa stream mouth, or Lake Kuratau only minutes away.

Taupo is just an hour away via a beautiful scenic lakeside road.

In the winter months, the Whakapapa ski fields are only 50 minutes away. Enjoy a full day on the slopes and then stop in at the Tokaanu hot pools on the way home for a relaxing soak.

Our fully-furnished home offers guests stunning lake views and all the amenities of home with full kitchen, bathroom and laundry.

Parents, there is a porta cot and highchair available for the wee ones, as well as games and movies to keep them entertained during wet weather.

For the outdoors, we invite you to make use of the inflatables, lifejackets and kayak on site.

Take a short stroll the lake, pack a picnic and enjoy a full day in the sun.

Our home is your home - Enjoy.

Please note:
Whareroa Village charm comes from its remoteness, but this does mean that the nearest store is 20 minutes away. Turangi is the closest town, a 30-minute drive so it's important to stock up before heading out.

Guests are expected to leave the house clean and tidy.

Linen provided.

The property was a great place to 'get away from it all'. It was well provided with dvd's and games etc, thank you :-). There were food staples in the cupboard and plenty of bedding. Very, very good. The only issue we had was actually finding the place - the numbering is not very visible from the road and particularly with the dimming light of day!
