    “This is obviously a much loved family holiday home that is showing signs of age.”

    Great location and lovely comfortable communal living area. Great log fire with plenty of wood. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you might require. Property shabbier than photos. Curtains hanging off rails, wallpaper peeling off, lamps either not working or no shades. The biggie was the fridge not working. We were given access to another fridge but this was sadly no better. The heat pump stuck on cold so unusable. The Bach care agent (who was just lovely!) was not able to get it working ...

    Great location and lovely comfortable communal living area. Great log fire with plenty of wood. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you might require. Property shabbier than photos. Curtains hanging off rails, wallpaper peeling off, lamps either not working or no shades. The biggie was the fridge not working. We were given access to another fridge but this was sadly no better. The heat pump stuck on cold so unusable. The Bach care agent (who was just lovely!) was not able to get it working either. However the log fire was more than adequate to heat the living areas. Beds very comfortable and warm but some heating other than small blow heaters in the bedrooms would have been nice. Master bathroom great, others showing their age. The outside could do with a bit of a tidy-up - waterblast the deck etc.

The property

Immerse yourself in lakefront living with stunning views of idyllic Lake Taupo. Make the most of this beautiful location and enjoy a refreshing escape at the fantastic Waitahanui Lakefront Escape. The house features a spacious living room with stunning indoor/outdoor flow opening out to the beautiful lake. On warm summer evenings, you have the option of alfresco dining with an unforgettable backdrop. Watch the sun go down over the lake and mountains in the distance. Prepare your meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, or spark up the barbecue for a classic meal hot off the grill. Or for a toasty winter escape to the lake, Waitahanui Beachfront Escape has both a heat pump and wood-burning fireplace. Pour yourself a glass of wine and get cosy on the couch with a good book or watch TV (with SKY TV) for a bit of entertainment. Ideally suited for large groups with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there is more than enough space for the whole family to spread out and find their own space. Situated close to the crystal clear, free-flowing Waitahanui River, there are many easy walking tracks including the famous 'Rock Pool' walk within a few minutes. Waitahanui is famed for its trout fishing so bring your rod and give fly-fishing a go. Also, the Whakapapa Ski Field is just a 45-minute drive away for snowy adventures! For the best chance to make the most of Lake Taupo, look no further than Waitahanui Lakefront Escape.

As the property has direct, unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
