harbour view at nukuhau

Super clean, fantastic boat harbour and lake views, excellent facilities, spacious living areas, extra comfy beds. Nice central workable kitchen with outlook too. Close to town but quiet and pleasant, very comfortable, everything to hand. Warm in minutes with heat pump. Stairs might be a drawback for some, driveway a bit tricky at first. I would recommend this property highly.

Comfortable and convenient

If you are looking for a 3br, 2 bathroom home that suits three couples, I highly recommend this property. It's close to town and all three bedrooms (one with en suite) have couple-sized beds. This is a rarity in Taupō! This was an ideal, cosy base for a family birthday celebration.

A magic place to stay

We loved staying at Taupo Harbour Retreat. The view from the deck gave us something interesting to watch all day long. The actual property is kitted out with everything you could possibly need - it's a home away from home. The beds are by far the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. The proximity to amentities was so useful. The home was impeccably presented. Nice little touches like games, DVDs, CD's to use was a real bonus. We will definitely stay there again and give it a 100 out of 100 score. Thank you for making this trip so special for us.

We loved our stay. On arrival the place was spotless and warm. Great sized rooms, expansive views and clearly really looked after. We loved the fantails visiting us on the deck and the quick walk into town. Looking to book again next year.
