    “Beautifully presented property with fantastic amenities.”

    The covered in deck area was brilliant for the rainy day and night we had. We used the outdoor area every night for dinner and admiring the beautiful view. The additional cabin was gorgeous, loved the set up of beds. A dishwater would have been handy, as we stayed for seven nights. But we were happy enough to wash our own dishes. Only thing we weren’t sure about (which isn’t a biggie) was rubbish. We couldn’t find any information on getting rid of these items, either from the bach care ...

    The covered in deck area was brilliant for the rainy day and night we had. We used the outdoor area every night for dinner and admiring the beautiful view. The additional cabin was gorgeous, loved the set up of beds. A dishwater would have been handy, as we stayed for seven nights. But we were happy enough to wash our own dishes. Only thing we weren’t sure about (which isn’t a biggie) was rubbish. We couldn’t find any information on getting rid of these items, either from the bach care emails or in the visitor info book at the house. Netherless we took all of our own rubbish with us. Thank you for a relaxing break away

The property

Time to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with your family and friends? This lakefront holiday home complete with sleepout and incredible outdoor entertaining area is just the place to do it. Welcome to Waters Edge Retreat! Bring the family, bring the boat, and bring your sense of adventure - there’s room for it all here on the shores of Lake Taupo. Set at the back of a large section with views for days, Waters Edge Retreat has everything you need for a relaxing and carefree stay. A spacious open-plan living area is light and bright thanks to floor to ceiling glass doors that provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the courtyard. In the morning, make yourself a fresh cup of Nespresso coffee and wander down to the lakefront to scope out your fishing spot for the day. Come evening, spark up the BBQ to grill your fresh catch of the day, and share an alfresco meal at the table, large enough for the whole family. You won’t miss out on dining with a view on those mid-year getaways; the courtyard can be closed and an outdoor fireplace lit, to create a cosy space to eat and chat long into the evening. Make the house cosy and warm with the log burner before you settle in for the night. Two bedrooms in the main house have luxurious king size beds, while a sleepout offers bunks and singles. A generous sized bathroom in the main house provides conveniences for everyone, including a corner bath perfect for the kids. For an fun day here at Waters Edge Retreat, why not grab the kayaks for an early morning paddle on the lake, then come home and roll out the table tennis table or set up one of the many board games for some family fun! Winner shouts the afternoon tea at the Licorice Cafe just five minutes walk up the road. Or venture further afield to the Trout Farm in Turangi or the hot pools in Tokaanu, both less than 15 minutes drive away. Why not take a scenic drive along the lake to Taupo, or through the dramatic Tongariro National Park to Whakapapa! Who needs a TV when it's just you, the family, and a location that can’t be beat. This is Waters Edge Retreat!

There are life-jackets available to use with the kayaks, but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.

The single pull out and king single beds in the sleepout can be joined together to make a queen bed. Please tell us which configuration you require at least three days before your stay so we can arrange the appropriate linen.

Please be aware the sleepout at this property is accessed externally and the bathroom is inside the main dwelling.

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.
