About this property

Central - Walk to Town and Lake!

Summary:
Step back in time at our adorable Kiwi Bach, brimming with nostalgic charm to whisk you back to childhood holidays.

Conveniently located within walking distance of a superette, shops, cafes, and restaurants. Just a couple of blocks from both the town center, the lake, and Sunday's market, it's the perfect base for your Taupo adventures!

Promotion - Stay 3 nights pay for 2 (*T&Cs below)

The Space:
Step into nostalgia at this charming older home, offering three bedrooms for up to six guests. Two bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, while the third boasts a king-single with a trundler underneath.

Relive cherished memories in the old-style kitchen and laundry, reminiscent of youth holidays. Stay comfortable year-round with a heat pump in the lounge and additional heaters in the bedroom.

Outside, kids can frolic in the backyard while you store bikes or gear in the lockable shed. Enjoy off-street parking and unwind on the lovely deck with morning coffee or an afternoon drink after your Taupō adventures.

If you are attending one of Taupo’s many events, this cottage is a great central base. The swim start of the Ironman is only 5 min walk away and T1 is just around the corner. The running and cycle course of most events is just by its doorstep, so your family and friends can easily take breaks while cheering you on.

Your nostalgic retreat awaits!

Guest Access:
Check-in instructions will be sent to your message thread three days before your check-in date.

The Neighborhood:
The lake is an easy five-minute walk down the road. The house neighbours a Foursquare Superette and a café. A block away is The Brantry, a local fine dining restaurant. The house is within walking distance to several more restaurants and on Sunday, you’re merely blocks away from the weekly craft market.

If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only 200m from the property, so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start and end, is only a quick drive away.
