About this property
Cottage near Lake Taupo on Tauranga Taupo River
A well presented and reasonably priced cottage very close to the lake and Tauranga/Taupo river on the Eastern side of Lake Taupo - 10Km North of Turangi Township. A very quiet, picturesque and peaceful area and very central to the numerous attractions and facilities of the Central Plateau of the North Island. Great accommodation for anglers/fishermen, skiers/snowboarders, tourists, wanting to get away from the bustle of city and big town life, or someone just wanting to break their journey for a night [or more] in a marvelous location.
