    We were stranded outside in the freezing cold with our 5 year old at 10:00pm and they couldn’t get hold of the property manager to let us in. We were on the phone for over an hour. We then had to find a room in a hotel to stay the night, until we were then let in, the next the morning.

The blatant disregard to their customers is appalling.

About the location

Just an 8 minute drive around the lake from Taupo Central, Wharewaka is a great base for a relaxing or adventure-packed holiday. It's out of the hustle and bustle of the centre, but still close to many of the bucket-list activities Taupo has to offer such as going out on the lake, visiting Huka Falls or even making the trek along the Tongariro Crossing. All of our Wharewaka holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
