About this house rental
Relax with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on a choice of two decks while you take in the expansive lake view (peep of the mountain from the end of the front deck) and gorgeous sunsets.
Enjoy spacious open plan living with heat pump for cosy winters. The home is tastefully decorated and furnished (new carpet May 2018) with large screen TV, all new quality furnishings, WIFI and Bluetooth entertainment speaker so you can enjoy your own music.
There are three generous bedrooms with new comfortable beds, quality duvets and feather/down pillows. All bed linen (sheets, pillow cases etc), towels & tee towels are provided. Two bathrooms (one ensuite) and an extra toilet mean plenty of room for families or couples needing their own space.
There is plenty of off street parking for cars and/or boat.
The lake front is a 5 minute stroll away (hot water beach) with cafes, restaurants and a children's playground. The Taupo botanical gardens are 5 minutes away. If you fancy some pampering, the De Brett Hotel and Spa is 10 minutes walk or a two minute drive away. The De Bretts also offers hot springs for family fun or a relaxing soak. The Taupo main centre with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants is an easy 30 minutes stroll along the lake front with attractions such as hole in one golf, lake front coffee caravan, gelato stand (in summer) and fun mini golf course on the way. Kayaks, paddle boards and sail boats are available to hire on the lakefront during summer, or if you prefer something more relaxing, charter tours are available from the boat harbour at the end of Ferry Road.
Taupo is the central North Island hub for world renowned trout fishing, golf, jet boating, mountain biking, parasailing, bungy jumping, great lake walkways, and is the gateway to the central plateau ski fields and amazing Tongariro Crossing day hike.
You will love your time in Taupo and we aim to make your accommodation comfortable, relaxing and memorable.

We loved our stay in this property! It was warm, cosy, clean, easy to access, close to town and the boat ramp, and well set up with everything we could have needed. The thermal plunge pool is pretty rare and we wished we’d been around more to use it so we’ll definitely be back!

We just stayed four nights. house easy to find. really clean, well appointed, lovely to stay in. Tāupo was cold, but the house was easy to get to warm. Really recommend it. It would suit a family - there are good sized bedrooms. We were just two though. very quiet place. two lovely couches to lounge on while we read books and looked at the lake.
definitely worth staying

Great stay
This is a lovely property to stay at. We were there for 8 nights. Normally we'd be out and about most of the time, but we struck some bad weather, which meant we were at the house longer than expected. It was a great place to spend an extended period of time.
The location is quiet and relaxing. The facilities are ideal, and the spa pool a great hit.
Highly recommended and we hope to stay there in the future.

Our Retreat
I must say how much we all fell in love with this house!
Three hardworking ladies who wsnted soneehere we could spend time together but also do our own thing.
Thank you Mandy for allowing us to stay here. I loved the pool! Your beds were so comfortable and our food technology teacher loved your kitchen! Our other friend loved the layout of the house, especially when she was able to blue tooth her music!
P.s. note to self. Read the house book first!
Love love, LOVED it!

What a wonderful place to be!
This beautiful home is magnificent! It is furnished with everything you could need for a few days or a long stay. A five-minute stroll will take you to a walking/biking trail along the shore of Lake Taupo. Or you could stay home and use the thermal plunge pool for a relaxing soak. Mandy was a wonderful hostess and graciously allowed us a late checkout on our final day there. We highly recommend this property; it is truly the nicest VRBO rental we've ever used [other than, of course, our own VRBO condo at Sugar Mountain, NC, US :<) ]!

Wonderful stay at the lake
House was spacious and clean. Lot's of room to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. We had a hiccup when we checked in, but Mandy was attentive and it was resolved. Beds were a little firm and both my friend and I were a little sore from that, but everyone has different needs. it was a minor thing. Mandy was lovely to work with. Would highly recommend! Overall we had a fabulous time. Thank you so much Mandy!

Gorgeous House
Pros: Generous sized rooms, Comfortable beds and furniture throughout, Great private natural thermal bath, Superb appliances, Weber grill, Quiet neighborhood, Programmable keyless door lock.
Cons: Quirky linen policy. My wife and I had to specify exactly which bed(s) we would use before seeing the place (NOYB!). We were issued only one set of towels each for our one week stay. When we complained the cleaning lady came over and gave us one more set each from a locked storage closet. She let me know that this was a special favor just for us. This house has 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen and an outdoor spa/ hot tub. We found ourselves washing our hands in one bathroom and running to another to find a towel. The final communication before check-in warned us not to sleep in any bed that did not have sheets on it. Yuk! Who would do that? If this has been a problem, why wouldn't they just put sheets on all the beds (and towels in all the bathrooms)? Some beach towels for the outdoor spa would also be nice.
