About this house rental
Via Del Lago is a home suitable for families, small groups including school groups and overseas guests looking to enjoy all Taupo has to offer.
Sorry we CAN NOT accommodate Stag or Hen parties.
Located up a right of way with very little road noise you will find our wonderful home. From the end of the drive you will find views of the lake and a short walk down the street will have you on Lake Taupo's waterfront. Taupo township is within reasonable walking distance or a short car ride if you prefer.
Through a gate and up a few steps will lead you to the main house. Our home welcomes you into one of two living spaces. On entry you will come into the open plan kitchen well equipped for large groups, dining space seating 6 with 4 additional chairs, and first lounge with a gas fire to keep you warm on those cooler nights. A smart TV is also within this space for you to enjoy. Leading off the dining area is a ranch slider opening up to the large back deck. With an outdoor dining table and chairs along with a gas BBQ, memories are often created out here. There is also a heated outdoor shower around the corner great for rinsing off and warming up on cooler days after a dip in the lake.
The open plan living space then follows through to a second lounge space that can be shut off by glass panel doors. Large bifold doors from this lounge open onto another deck that looks out to our pirate ship play space. Down to its own wing of the house you will find the master bedroom with ensuite. Along the hall leading from the kitchen area are three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, toilet and bath.
The large rumpus room down the stairs from the second lounge is lovely and warm when the small fire is lit. Firewood is provided should you decide to use it. Please note there is no child safety gate on the stairs leading to the rumpus. In this space is also a washing machine and dryer for your use.
Mostly double glazed, insulated and warm, yet well ventilated for summer months you should never find yourself two hot or two cold. Continuous hot water via a gas unit is also a great asset when you have a large amount of people running water.
The back part of our section is fully fenced and suitable for animals on request. The front half is lovely and flat, great for kicking a ball around. This area can also accommodate tents with prior permission. Outside the front end of the home is also an amazing Pirate ship play structure for Children to enjoy. A slide, various swings, fireman's pole and hut allow imaginations to run wild when playing. Supervision is required by adults and visitors must assume all responsibility for usage.
Bedrooms:
Master suite has a super king bed and ensuite, this room also has an aircon/heat pump.
Three rooms off the main kitchen hall are as follows: Green room with a queen bed, Blue room a double bed, Bunk room with two sets of single bunks. There is in this space at the end of the hall another aircon/heat pump. Porta cot available on request.
Rumpus downstairs has a queen bed, Single bed and pull out trundle along with 6 foam mattresses.
When making a booking we will send you a form to tick off what beds you will use during your stay so we can make sure it is ready for when you arrive.

Great home in a perfect location. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Taupo! A Host.

This is the second time we have stayed here, as it’s perfect for our family get togethers. We had 3x family groups accommodated with plenty of space inside, good mix of sleeping options, good kitchen and play area outside for kids. Walking distance to lake and town. We’ll be back again and would definitely recommend it to others.

could have more toilets for number staying. With ensuite in 1 bedroom it puts peessure on the 1 other with 9 having to use it. With a full hiuse of 15 that would be 13 using 1 toilet. Pantry next to kitchen could be concerted with entrance from hallway
But a great stay otherwise. Excellent house.

On arrival the cleanliness of this place was immediately apparent We are a group of 8 over 50's golfers who would all stay here again. Facilities like heat pumps an fire places everywhere help in the cold. Very easy walk to town and a nice quiet suburb to stay in. Fully equipped kitchen an layout to suit all. Thanks Mac. We will be back.

We loved Via Del Lago. It was close to town, close to the lake, close to the airport (for the 60th birthday celebratory skydives).
It had an incredibly well-equipped kitchen. We love to cook and it had all the appliances, platters, bowls and tins required, as well as a great assortment of pots, crockery and cutlery. And gizmos (including avocado scooper, lemon zester, butter curler - you get the picture).
We loved the older style house and how homely it felt. There was a place for everyone to relax.
Great private back yard and places to sit in the shade when needed. The fort was great for the 10-year-old.
We swam twice a day, every day.
We want to come back.

Great location and very spacious house. Downstairs a bit musty smelling but otherwise a great house for families and pets. Great contact with the owner and clear instructions regarding check in and check out. Would definitely return

This place was perfect for our weekend stay. I came up for a 2-day dirt bike trail ride, (from Palmerston North) and my brothers and nephews came down from Auckland) as there was 8 of us, we needed somewhere with plenty of room, and safe off-road parking for the bikes and trailer's. This place was perfect in every way, and we are hoping to make this an annual event and would definitely like to stay here again.
Cheers Shane.

Perfect for our family we had room to spread out. The grandkids loved the pirate ship and have asked if we can go back next again year. The down stairs room was very cold and musty but their was a fire and wood provided. We had an amazing experience here with everything we needed and would defiantly stay here again. Very clean and tidy. Thank you for sharing your home.

There was group of 9 of us, adults, teenagers and a dog, and there was plenty of space for us to spread out when we were at the house. Great location, 2 minute stroll to the lakefront and 5 minutes into town. Would definitely love to stay again.

We had a great stay. There was 10 of us including two 80+ and one 4hy old plus fur babies. The lay out of the place was great and the oldies didn't have very many stairs to negotiate. Everything was handy and in walking distance. Will definitely stay again.

The house is fantastic for our family. We all fit and the grandies love the park in the backyard! It’s a very easy house to holiday in and the location is perfect. Close to the lake and town and bike paths which we took full advantage of. Thanks to Mac for letting us rent his property

We enjoyed our stay and found the home to be spacious and comfortable.
Plenty of heating (fireplaces and heat pumps) if required and the property was located reasonably close to Taupo CBD.
An easy stroll to Jolly Good Fellows Bar & Restaurant as well.

The family functional split level set up with two living areas and large basement was perfect for us. Had our Taupo family over for dinner one night and we comfortably caught up. My nieces and nephews with their partners continued with drinks and board games in the basement area while us oldies conversed upstairs. Walked to the coffee caravan down by the lake each morning, a mere few mins away. Great location, warms up quickly with gas fire, multiple heat pumps and wood burner. Would def stay again and highly recommend for larger groups of all ages.

Great value for money, comfortable property.
Nice amenities.
The only downside side were that the fridge smelled of 3 day old fish and the mattress in the main suite was REALLY uncomfortable with a massive dip in the middle.

Great location as it was close to town centre and lake. Beautiful weather made our morning walks and activities super fun! House was able to keep us warm with heat pump and fire place. Plenty of parking space too.
