Waipapa Cottage is a holiday home dreams are made of! Enjoy a luxury Kurutau stay with Wi-Fi and breathtaking lakefront views over the majestic Kaimanawa Ranges.
Waipapa Cottage has been comprehensively renovated and boasts a chef-designed kitchen, open plan living, luxury bathroom, heated outdoor shower, sunny deck and a state-of-the-art saltwater spa pool.
This Kuratau holiday home sits above the pristine southwestern shores of Lake Taupo. Unwind indoors by the fire and admire the scenery, or dine alfresco on the deck with spectacular views. The salt water spa is a romantic setting for the ultimate relaxing evening!
The master bedroom with its generous super king bed opens onto the deck. Bedroom Two has a queen bed and French doors opening onto the deck, while Bedroom Three has two single beds that can be joined to make a king bed.
When you feel like exploring, the world famous Tongariro River is 15 minutes away; launch your boat from the nearby Kuratau or Omori boat ramps, and fish two river mouths or the Kuratau spit. You can even spot trout from the lawn's edge! Winter skiing at Whakapapa is a scenic 45-minute drive away.
Whether you seek adventure or serenity with a little touch of modern-heaven-meets-classic-Kiwi-bach, Waipapa Cottage is the perfect holiday base. You won't want to leave!

Guest reviews for Waipapa Cottage
We encourage reviews. Our review policy.G
Stayed July 2020This is a lovely property with spectacular views and a house that's classy but rustic and bachy at the same time. Only five minutes walk to the water's edge and really pretty walks along the lake in both directions. The hot tub with lake view is sublime. House is toasty in winter. Although it sleeps six it's really only suitable for four as the living area is small and six a big squash. And while the kitchen is well stocked with pots and utensils, you need to take all food provisions as the house is limited to pretty much salt, pepper, sugar and few teabags. Also if you are using the linen hire you will need to take extra towels as you only get one per person. Highly recommended holiday house.

Stayed February 2020This is a really charming Kiwi bach, brought into the 21st century without losing all its character. Very well equipped with comfortable beds. The spa is a great addition and the setting is beautiful.

Stayed April 2019Enjoyable stay. Beautiful cottage. Washing machine/dryer not very user friendly. Also 1 bath towel each for 3 night stay with a spa pool not enough

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Waipapa Cottage Paul. We'll ask the holiday manager to pop some instructions for using the washing machine and dryer in the house. 1x towel is provided per person with paid linen, however guests are welcome to order additional linen or bring their own towels for their stay.

Stayed March 2019Waipapa Cottage is a beautifully presented, comfortable and cosy property to stay in with fabulous views of the lake.

Stayed February 2019A stunning property with lots of thoughtful extras, the view of the lake is magical and the cottage is well presented, thank you to the owners for sharing this treasure. The only disappointing part was the mattress in the queen room sagged in the middle which meant it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The late arrival of the neighbours friday night and the noise they made, made it difficult to get any sleep.
Bachcare replied
We agree Waipapa Cottage is a beautiful property Julie! Thanks for your feedback about the mattress, we'll pass this on to the owners.
