Great location, short easy walk to playground, lake, tennis courts etc. Lovely sunny upstairs, spacious lounge and kitchen, large dining table for family dinners and great big balcony. All amenities you need.
We had an amazing stay. The house has everything you need, very well equiped. Great for families with plenty of room and close to everything. Thank you for a excellent stay!
Was a great location and plenty of off street parking. Tidy and clean and has everything you need. And an awesome price too! Will definitely be back when it’s warmer weather for fishing next time. Thank you :)
This was the perfect place for our family to relax and unwind. It's so peaceful, close to playgrounds, the lake and beautiful walking tracks. There was plenty of space to relax in the bach. We would definitely book again!

Our stay at kuratau
We have been going to kuratau for over 20 years around this time with friends, mostly different properties every year the house was average with nice living area and fire place aprt from that it had leak, only one shower, all heaters can not be turned on at same time so there's place for improvement but the price was cheap.
Great property with everything we needed to base ourselves as a family with a few kids for the weekend around Taupo/Turangi!
Meredith was very accommodating. We will be back again, thanks.
