About the host
Hosted by Rhys Hakkens
Kia ora! I’m Rhys, an experienced Airbnb host with over 8 years of hosting under my belt across some of Aotearoa’s most loved regions. While I live in Wellington, Taupō holds a special place in my heart and I love welcoming guests to experience all it has to offer. I’m a keen traveller myself, having explored Asia, Europe, and the Pacific, and I bring that same warm, thoughtful approach into the way I host.
I’m a passionate foodie and I enjoy discovering great places to eat—so I’m always happy to share recommendations for local cafés, markets, or those hard-to-find gems. I believe that every trip should feel effortless and memorable, and I’m here to help make your stay in Taupō smooth, relaxing, and full of great experiences.

Why they chose this property
Taupō is one of those destinations that has something for everyone. The town sits on the edge of Lake Taupō—the largest lake in New Zealand—and the views alone are worth the visit. But what really makes Taupō special is the variety: you can take a morning stroll along the lakefront, go trout fishing or jet boating by afternoon, and end the day soaking in a natural hot spring under the stars.
I love that Taupō is both adventurous and peaceful. You’ve got incredible outdoor activities like hiking Tongariro, biking the Great Lake Trail, or visiting the stunning Huka Falls. But it’s also the kind of place where you can slow down, relax at a lakeside café, and just breathe. It’s a perfect blend of nature, energy, and that classic laid-back Kiwi vibe.

What makes this property unique
What makes my Taupō property stand out is its location and comfort. It’s the ideal base for exploring everything this vibrant region has to offer—just a short drive or walk from the lakefront, local restaurants, hot pools, and all the main attractions. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, family trip, or a weekend of adventure, the space is set up to make you feel instantly at home.
Guests love how easy it is to settle in—from the clean and modern interior to thoughtful touches that make a difference after a day of sightseeing. I provide personal recommendations for places to eat, swim, walk, and explore, so you can experience Taupō like a local, not just a tourist. I take pride in making sure every guest feels welcome, relaxed, and excited about their stay.
