About this property
Botanic Bliss-Clean and green, next to reserve and beautiful Botanic Gardens
Freshly decorated and furnished, a warm, sunny modern bach including all the comforts of home next to a reserve and minutes from the Botanical Gardens. The bach is part of a two storey home, yet is private, quiet and has off road parking. There is a sunny garden with outdoor table, chairs and BBQ. Within 10 minutes you can reach the lake at 2 Mile Bay by following an attractive bush walk most of the way. At the lakes edge the Lions Walk can be taken by foot or bike all the way out passed Wharewaka or in the other direction to town. The lovely Waipahihi Botanical Gardens are only a short stroll away with many varied walks including the camelia, rhododendron and fern walks to name but a few and there are spectacular viewpoints of the lake and mountains. Town centre Taupo is a 5 minute easy drive. Close by there are the Richmond Heights shops with a 4 Square dairy, fish and chip shop, bottle store, hairdressers and pub/bar. The popular Terraces and Ploughmans restaurants are a short drive away, as are the Taupo Hotsprings and Spa, boat ramp at 2 Mile Bay and Sailing Centre Bar that does great pizza with the best view in town. There are 2 different playgrounds within walking distance. Massage therapy is available on site providing deep tissue, sports or relaxation massage on request. A babysitting service is available upon request. The ski fields are little over an hours drive from here and World class trout fishing and golf is nearby. Debretts Hotsprings & Spa is a few minutes drive away & perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Other activities include mountain-biking, kayaking, sky-diving, bungy-jumping, scenic walks, the Huka falls, geothermal parks, sailing, parasailing, hotpools and excellent restaurants and shops. Hope you enjoy your stay in this beautiful part of New Zealand.
