As a member of the Bed and Breakfast Association NEW ZEALAND we provide Quality Assessed Accommodation in a luxurious private home surrounded by acres of garden 5 km East of Lake Taupo.
With views of Mt Tauhara to the North, Richlyn Country Homestead offers exclusive luxuriously furnished accommodation for a small number of guests in a spacious home where every room opens out onto verandas with sandstone paving and into the garden.
Richlyn Homestay with its luxurious romantic guest rooms and private facilities, is rated 'highly recommended' by the New Zealand Bed and Breakfast Association and '5 star' by past guests who appreciate our intimate exclusive service.
From a romantic honeymoon suite to exclusive luxury retreat for a group of friends, Richlyn Park is a perfect haven from the outside world where strangers become long time friends.
Lyn, from Scotland, and Richard, a local ?Taupoite?, have travelled extensively and know from experience that the generous warm-hearted service, comfortable beds, fresh home baking, safe off street parking and relaxed friendship they provide will be appreciated.
Arrive up a winding tree lined driveway to afternoon tea and home baking, drop off the luggage before exploring. Watch out for quail, native birds, Rosco the puppy and Barny the cat.
Unwind and relax, you are encouraged to make yourself at home here. Enjoy the spacious lounge with 58inch plasma TV great for sports fans. Read a book in front of the fire in our classically furnished red sitting room, join us for evening drinks to share experiences and travel stories.
Full breakfast includes healthy home baked bread, freshly ground coffee and freshly made fruit salad. Discuss your sightseeing plans with Lyn and Richard while enjoying a scrumptious breakfast, use their 40 + years of local knowledge to plan the day ahead.
Taupo provides international quality dining for all tastes and budgets please ask if you wish a restaurant booked in advance.
Laundry facilities are available on request at a small charge.
Energy conservation and sustainability were a priority when Richard and Lyn designed and built Richlyn 20 years ago. A low emission furnace fired with wood grown on site supplies all heating and hot water. Walls and roof are insulated with highest rated materials then available. Rain water irrigates the gardens, three fountains and waterfall. A worm-farm, puppy, cat and local birdlife deal with food scraps.

The Central North Island of New Zealand encompasses Rotorua 1 hr away, Napier 1.5 hrs, Tongariro National Park 1 hr, Waitomo Glow worm caves 1.5 hrs and a myriad of natural features within 20 minutes drive of Richlyn. They can all be enjoyed in day trips from Richlyn Park.

It is truly the ideal place to unpack once and relax for a few days.

Please note inclusions for special offers; please make bookings at least 24 hrs before arrival.
