About this property

Wharewaka · Classic holiday spot, memories at Wharewaka Beach

Original 1960's great Wharewaka holiday home full of character, only 2 mins walk to one of the best beaches in Taupo. Wharewaka comes alive at holiday time.
Bring the boat, canoes, jet ski, bikes spend the days at the lake and evening BBQ's on the deck. Fully fenced & gated, we are even happy if you want to bring the dog! Your visit will be packed with laughs, fun times & good memories. Based on my experience your kids will talk about this place forever. No WIFI.

Linen included ...... Please note there is no WIFI. As you enter from the front door the front room has a queen bed with wheelchair access bathroom. The next two bedrooms have single beds. Down 3 steps to a shower with separate toilet, on into a large room with double bed and 2 singles. Wash house, washing machine, dryer, 2nd fridge and freezer. There is a separate sleep out with 2 single bunks (4 beds) and a bathroom. Prefect for the teenagers.

This is the quintessential bach not flash but clean and comfortable and a very special place for large groups.

The whole home is yours to access and enjoy we hope enjoy the property.

We like to give our guests their privacy but Kerry is available by phone or text to answer any questions and we are only ever 10-15 minutes drive away if needed in an emergency.

Safe and friendly neighbourhood. Safe beach, great holiday location.

You will need a card or walking shoes.

Rotorua is only one hours drive and Hawkes Bay within 1.5 hours drive for a day of sightseeing and for the active traveller the Ski field and Tongariro crossing is an 1.5 hours drive. The Glowworm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from.

Basic classic Kiwi bach stay
Our whānau reunion was great here. Relaxed, plenty of room. Basic amenities but comfy beds. Perfect for dogs. Awesome deck with views. Nothing posh but good for us. Sleepout really comfy too, with ensuite. Plentynof heating. Tiny kitchen so no gourmet cooking which suited us. Best fish and chips 5 minutes away at The Fish Box.

Retro Perfection
This house surpassed our expectations! It was like a retro timewarp - LOVED it! SSoo clean! Beautiful view to lake and great for larger groups. We had our family of 4 (2 kids 15 & 12), 3 men (2 over 76 years). They all said the beds were comfy and with the heatpumps, the house was lovely and warm. The new carpet added to the comfort and warmth underfoot. Close access to the lake with a walkway diagnonally across the road. We will definitely be staying here again!
