About this property
Lake Edge Cottage - Waitahanui Holiday Home
Positioned right on the edge of Lake Taupō in peaceful Waitahanui, this rustic two-bedroom retreat offers a laid-back waterfront escape just 12 minutes from Taupō's town centre.
Full of traditional bach charm, Lake Edge Cottage is all about relaxing, unwinding, and making the most of its incredible setting. The cosy living area opens directly onto a lakeside deck, where you'll be treated to panoramic views across the sparkling water. Start your mornings with a coffee as the sun rises over the lake, enjoy leisurely lunches outdoors, and end the day watching the changing colours reflect across the water.
This comfortable holiday home accommodates a range of group types, making it ideal for families, couples, or friends looking to enjoy a classic lake getaway. Bedroom one enjoys beautiful lake views and is fitted with a double bed and single bed, while bedroom two includes a double bed and a single bunk set, offering flexible sleeping arrangements.
With two bathrooms available, including one inside the home and an additional bathroom located in the boat shed, there's plenty of convenience for your stay.
The property's absolute lakefront location and on-site boat parking make it a fantastic choice for keen anglers, boaties, and water sports enthusiasts. Spend your days fishing, kayaking, swimming, or exploring the beautiful Taupō region before returning to your peaceful lakeside haven.
Whether you're chasing adventure on the water or simply seeking a spot to switch off and enjoy the scenery, Lake Edge Cottage offers an authentic Kiwi lake holiday experience right at the water's edge. Please note: This bach is older style and quite basic/ rustic. Boat parking accommodates up to 6m.
