Summer and winter retreat 3 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms

Gorgeous Hatepe house, only a minute's walk to Lake Taupo, the beach and, the Hinemaiaia River - renowned for trout fishing. The perfect place to relax and unwind in winter and summer. Large kitchen, living room has a cosy wood fire (fire wood supplied), seperate dining, three bedrooms and two bathrooms and toilets. The large deck is set in picturesque grounds that are filled with birdsong year round and allows for outdoor living in the summer.

The area has loads of activities for all ages. Enjoy a tennis game on the community tennis court. Launch your boat, jetskis or kayaks from the village's private boat ramp and enjoy a day on the lake. Walk, run, or bike along the world famous Hinemaiaia River. Bring nets for the kids to catch the small fish. Or swim at the beaches and enjoy the crystal clear water. Or just relax on the deck and enjoy the birdlife!

Only 15 minutes drive to Taupo for a hit of coffee or a spot of shopping, cafe's/restaurants and a multitude of activities for all ages.

In the winter the fishing is fantastic, there are several hot pools to choose from, or commute to the Whakapapa ski fields for skiing, snowboarding or hiking.

Our batch is compact but roomy so can fit a large family or group no problem. Two rooms have space for a mattress or a stretcher bed which would increase capacity to 8 - renters to supply own additional beds.

Special conditions:

Smoking allowed outside only. Pets not allowed as there is no fencing.


NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels). Take all rubbish with you when you leave.

The house is in a good position back from the lake but very accessible. It has adequate space with a well appointed kitchen in a sunny position. Its a great little neighbourhood.

Best alternative to a hotel in Taupo
Seems close to SH1 on the map but you almost don’t hear it. Somewhat old style (a.k.a. not a fancy McMansion), but very cosy - also on a rainy day. Well equipped kitchen. Could easily host 6 people. Would definitely book it again.

Nice location but needs a refresh
Great location and the kids enjoyed being so close to the lake. The downstairs area is nice and light but bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs are very aged and need a refresh. Would have also loved some electric heating in the lounge as we didn't want to have to deal with cleaning out and resetting the fire.
