About this property

Chalet Mahuta - Five Mile Bay Holiday Home

Boasting an unbeatable location on the edge of NZ's largest lake, with uninterrupted views and direct access across the road - Welcome to Chalet Mahuta!

Everything you need for a refreshing lakeside getaway is on hand - put your feet up or head out for days on the water.

For the best of summer living, the elevated sundeck with outdoor dining area and large lawn are ideal for BBQ's and family games in the sun, or simply kick back and enjoy the beautiful lakefront scenery.

If it's a winter stay you have planned, this home is equipped with both a wood-burning fireplace and heat pump to keep everyone toasty warm. If you're spending your day indoors, there is a TV with SKY TV in the living area and then an additional TV for DVDs in the ground floor lounge as well as a table tennis table and dartboard!

Chalet Mahuta is a 3 storey, 5-bedroom and 2-bathroom holiday home offering well presented open plan living on the middle level opening out to the sundeck. The bedrooms spread across all levels offering plenty of space for the whole family to find a comfy space to call their own.

Explore your surroundings with days out on the lake, visiting Huka Falls, or fishing in the Waitahanui River. For the perfect way to end a relaxing or action-packed day is to head down to the beach and watch the sunset over Mt. Ruapehu.

Enjoy the ultimate spot for some much-needed R & R with the family - Chalet Mahuta awaits!
All guests are encouraged to use the handrail when accessing the internal stairs to bedroom one on the top floor, as they are quite steep.

Please note, as the property sits alongside State Highway 1, guests should be aware that there will be traffic noise that carries over from this road during their stay.

As the property has no front gate and has direct 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.

Plenty of beds, not all with linen though. Bunk mattresses very unconfortable. Property is very dated but despite that, lovely location across from the lake. Also a fair bit of traffic noise from the highway. Was expensive given the age of the house. Check in process was very easy and house was very clean.
