Waipapa Cottage - Kuratau Holiday House
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 lovely 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!
Please note that this property is situated on a clifftop, and therefore, not suitable for small children. This is strictly enforced.
The two single beds in Bedroom Three can be joined to make a King bed.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
