Lakefront prime location in Rainbow Point - fab!

Summary:
Bach, beachfront, BBQ, books, prime location!

Rainbow Drive is the ultimate 1970’s holiday home that has been lovingly looked after by one family for nearly 50 years so you still get the feel of the 70’s
You simply can’t beat the views, there are not too many that can offer lakefront positioning. Perfect for the retired couple wanting a relaxing holidays or a family holiday where mum can just chill on the patio while Kids have hours of fun in the lake.

The Space:
Solid semi detached home with three bedrooms, the first has amazing views out to the lake with a queen bed, the second bedroom has 2 good solid bunks, the third bedroom has a double bed and two children bunks. Open plan living and lounge with big windows for the views of the lake. Separate kitchen and internal access to a single garage that is perfect for all the water toys or bikes that you want to bring with you.

Guest Access:
Taupo has wonderful attractions and activities with many free and most suitable for all ages. All the local brochures are there for your planning. Relax or Go Go Go but above all its lovely to return to the house and chill watching the sunset!
Please note it is a shared driveway so please do keep the front part of the driveway clear at all times.

The Neighborhood:
This holiday home could be a park the car and hide the keys location. You are 5 minutes walk to the Rainbow Point dairy, Pot of Gold fish & chips or Ploughman Pub. You are based on the Lions walk so ten minutes stroll to your right and you are at the 2 Mile Bay Sailing Centre for a pizza, Perroni and great live music or 30 minutes to fabulous espresso cafe for lunch. Turn left onto the Lions Walk and stroll or jog through 3 mile bay boat ramp, Wharewaka bays and on to 5 mile bay ..... hours of exercise.

Other Things to Note:
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.

Good location but property needs bit of upgrade.

Good location but furniture was very old. The property should be upgraded with smart Tv, dishwasher, good bathroom amenities , kitchen upgrade and thoroughly cleaned to make it more liveable.

Our Xmas Lake House holidsy

Nanny, Poppy,Mummy,Daddy daughter 3years and baby 5 months stayed at Nany' lake house( nzme given by 3 year old). There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and come together. We walked on the walkways at the bottom of the garden and swam in the lake down there also. We enjoyed Million dollar views from all our windows. I couldnt get enough of them. The full kitchen meant we could cook together and dining area had plenty of room. Parking to the door! We all loved it and had a fun time together. Would happily return in a heartbeat. Cheers Leone
