With three cozy bedrooms, plenty of character, and a newly renovated bathroom, this charming home is perfect for families or couples. Whether you're here for golf, shopping, fishing, skiing, sightseeing, or simply seeking a year-round retreat

The Space:
This centrally located property is just 5 minutes from Taupo town center and a 3-minute drive from the 2 Mile Bay Sailing Centre. It's the ideal spot to unwind by the water with a refreshing drink and a delicious wood-fired pizza. If you enjoy walking or biking, the Lions Walk is just moments away.
