About this property

Stunning lake front house with view of mountains.

  • Very modern, warm comfortable family holiday home with 2 huge verandas, one at the front facing the lake and one at the back of the upstairs living area which also has great views of the lake. A wide staircase lead at the front leads straight down to the lake - watch children playing on their bikes or on the lakefront from the veranda. There is a bike path at front of house which joins The Lion's Walk pathway into town.
    Sun all day in upstairs living area, fireplace for the winter and under-floor heating in downstairs bedrooms which helps to heat rest of house.
    7-minute drive to Taupo township. 1 hour to Whakapapa ski field.

    Three bedrooms have double beds (1 double, 1 queen and 1 king) and another bedroom has 2 singles (which can be made into a super king) and a set of bunks. There is also a proper wooden cot for babies (and a spare portacot if needed).

    This family holiday home is well loved by 3 generations. Please be aware that because of the ages of our younger family members, there is a bit of wear and tear around the house, particularly around the kitchen - notably the island bench surfaces and cupboards. Please note that these surfaces are stained rather than dirty or grimy.

    Special conditions:
    No animals please

    Extras: We have an additional fee of $120 for the cleaner and $100 for bed linen hire per stay.

Very awesome spot. The house is good for the extended family. The contact was nice to deal with. The cleaning was good but not excellent. But one thing we found hard being in middle of a cold snap is it took awhile to heat th downstairs up. An it was ice cold.
