Boating, swimming, fishing, walking, cycling. Child and pet friendly.

This property was a much-loved place where my parents would escape to. A quintessential New Zealand Bach. An idyllic retreat that is 3 minutes' walk from the edge of Lake Taupo. Good trout fishing with many bush walks and bike tracks once you have tired of swimming and boating. Three quarters of an hour's drive from Whakapapa Ski field and 20 minutes' drive in to Taupo. Tennis court available at the Marae. The native bird population is fascinating with lots of tuis, bellbirds, kereru, and quail.

It is to be noted that there is some road noise from the Main Road, please be prepared for this. Also note that the property is not fenced at the front it is open to the road for your animals. There is a long line that can be used to secure if your dog is a wanderer. In the village dogs are not allowed to roam free. There is no Wi-Fi but you do get good cell phone reception.

Also available is a separate self-contained sleepout that will sleep 8 and can be hired at an additional charge. The sleepout has stove, fridge, microwave and kitchen facilities, wood burner and separate bathroom Wonderful for two families.
