About this property

Pirate Adventure Meets Lake Taupō Living | Spacious Family & Group Accommodation

Via Del Lago is an effortless, relaxed Taupō getaway designed for families, friends, or groups seeking space, comfort, and something a little different. With a unique pirate-themed play area for children, a trampoline, and generous living spaces for adults to unwind, this home is set up for simple, enjoyable stays close to the lake.

A place where children stay entertained long after they arrive, and adults can genuinely switch off and relax. More than just accommodation, it offers a memorable experience from the moment you arrive.

This well-appointed, large capacity home provides comfort, privacy, and flexibility for extended families, multi-family holidays, group getaways, and sports teams on tour. There is ample space to gather together or enjoy separation when needed.

The pirate-themed play area and trampoline are a standout feature, designed to spark imagination and keep younger guests engaged for hours. This creates a relaxed environment for adults while turning downtime into part of the holiday experience.

Multiple living areas and outdoor decks create a natural flow between shared meals, relaxed evenings, and long summer days. The BBQ space and open plan layout support easy, unhurried holiday living in Taupō.

The home is configured across multiple bedrooms and sleeping zones, comfortably accommodating up to 15 guests. The layout works well for larger groups who value both shared connection and personal space.

Located close to Lake Taupō and within easy reach of town, the property offers an ideal balance of convenience and privacy close enough for ease, yet set back enough to feel like a true escape.

We love this house, our team has stayed there for a number of years now and it has always been immaculately clean and really well fitted out. There is a large and well-equipped kitchen, lots of space and multiple single beds which suits our needs. It is in a very quiet area and is really comfortable. The host has been very helpful and fast to respond.
