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.

    “Mixed experience - some improvements needed We stayed at Choice Wharewaka as a replacement booking after our original Bachcare property was cancelled, and while we appreciated having somewhere to stay, the home didn’t quite meet expectations.”

    The location is good and the house has potential, but there were several issues during our stay: Cleanliness could have been better Not enough glassware for number of guests Both the fridges froze food (including fruit & vegetables), meaning we had to replace groceries Only one rubbish bag provided and no wheelie bin TV remote didn’t work Safety concerns including slippery decking when wet and protruding nails, as well as very low ceiling in top staircase, both resulting in minor ...

With some attention to detail, this could be a much better stay.
