About this property

Ruatotara - Pukawa Holiday Home

  • Just a five-minute walk from the lake’s edge, this welcoming holiday home offers an ideal balance of relaxation and adventure.

    Designed to make the most of its elevated position, Ruatotara features expansive decking that invites you to soak up the afternoon sun while taking in the stunning outlook across the lake and surrounding bush. Whether you're sharing a leisurely meal outdoors, enjoying a good book in the fresh air, or unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets, the scenery takes centre stage.

    Inside, the open-plan living area provides a comfortable and relaxed space to gather, with large windows framing the picturesque surroundings. A well-equipped kitchen makes holiday dining easy, while thoughtful comforts throughout the home ensure a stay that's both convenient and restful.

    Sleeping up to seven guests across three bedrooms, Ruatotara is well suited to families, couples, and small groups looking to explore the southern shores of Lake Taupō. Two bedrooms each feature a queen bed, while the third offers a double and single bed, providing flexible accommodation options for your group.

    Beyond the property, discover the natural beauty of Pukawa Bay. Spend your days boating, kayaking, fishing, or exploring nearby walking tracks that wind through native bush. The area's peaceful atmosphere, abundant birdlife, and stunning lakefront setting make it a wonderful destination in every season.

    For lakeside relaxation, breathtaking views, and a true escape into nature, Ruatotara is ready to welcome you.
    The property is accessed from the end of Fromont Lane.

    Please note this property may not be suitable for young children. The section is unfenced, and the land falls away steeply beyond the deck. Adults should closely supervise children at all times.

Ruatotara is an excellent location for the volcanic plateau and a very pleasant base to return to with great lake views. Would definitely like to return for a trip with a large group someday!
