Rest easy in three bedrooms, two with king beds and one with two king singles, all serviced by a modern bathroom. Enjoy sunshine on the deck or host 'al fresco' dinners. Kindly note that you are welcome to use the BBQ but it is offered 'as is' as it is not part of our cleaner's schedule.

Just a leisurely 5-minute walk away, you'll find convenience at your fingertips with a local corner store, a well-stocked bottle shop, and a delicious fish and chips shop.
A stroll down the hill will take you to the tranquil shores of Lake Taupō, and the 'Two Mile Bay Sailing Club', where you can unwind with a refreshing drink or indulge in a mouthwatering pizza while soaking in breathtaking lake views.
For those seeking adventure, embark on a scenic journey along the renowned Great Lake Pathway, offering picturesque views of the expansive lakefront. Just a short drive away, you'll find relaxation and rejuvenation at 'Taupō DeBretts Spa Resort', or immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the town center, brimming with local shops, cafes, and attractions.
Come experience the perfect blend of convenience, natural beauty, and relaxation at our retreat in Richmond Heights, Taupō.
