Lakefront Haven at Waitahanui
Lovely spot , great location with access to the lake, river walk, and easy drive 5 minute drive into Taupo. Well fenced for children and outside bath was a treat. Will be back again next time we visit Taupo

Ann's place was great and offered a beautiful location to enjoy Taupō and the surrounding region! Thanks for having us!

Cottage over the Lake
Lovely accommodation with fantastic views. We met Michelle briefly and are thrilled with the hospitality. Thanks for cereals, bacon, eggs, chocolate etc! We really enjoyed the view of the lake and were extremely satisfied! Fresh flowers were everywhere, really very lovingly prepared. The terrace was a dream ! Love, Rebekka and Berni

Kinloch Edge of the Lake..Location Plus
We really loved our stay. Duncan was amazing, from perfect communication, very friendly and helpful. The house was exactly as it was advertised. too be honest, better. It's amazing. Location was perfect, walked across the lawn and straight into the lake. Right next door to the marina, so easy to launch the boat. I will 100% be going back.

Two Mile Retro Retreat - pet friendly
Neat house to stay in, had everything we were after. Great location for what we wanted that weekend. Awesome host

The Pipi Pad - upgraded with spa pool & EV charger
The Pipi Pad was outstanding in every way. Well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms giving 3 couples plenty of room whilst staying. Tastefully decorated with extremely comfortable beds and gorgeous linen. Heaps on offer to to while staying there, ie books, games, ping pong, bikes and spa pool. Lovely touch by leaving fresh milk for us and allowing us to use things from the pantry and fridge. Jeremy’s communication was fabulous - we had no problem finding the Pipi Pad and getting in was easy. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Taupo.

The Kinloch Retreat
Beautiful destination and amazing views of the lake. The Espresso Coffee machine was the cherry on top!!! Plenty of parking which came in handy, very clean for a place allowing pets (we were anxious about our dogs playing at the lake and going in the house wet and dirty, but cleaning equipment came in handy). Pizza oven was a nice surprise, and we had the more luxurious lifystyle for the weekend thanks to Karen and Matts dream destination.

Bach on the Bay- location, views, character, charm
Belinda’s place was beautiful. We loved the deck and the window seat - just such peaceful views over a lake Taupo. This place is a few kms out of Taupo town but worth the few minutes in the car! Beautiful neighbourhood! House was gorgeous with everything you need. Beautifully finished with lovely quality linen and accessories. If you’re reading this - just book it - it does not disappoint!

Peanut's Place, Lakeside Kuratau.
Was a great place to stay for our group. Had everything we needed and lovely to have the beds and linen done for us. Great location and view and very nice people to deal with. Thank you for having us.

Charming original Kiwi Bach
Loved the homeliness of this place, was comfortable and cosy. Particularly loved the environment, quiet and peaceful and close to the lake and river walks.

Base Camp Cottage
Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

holiday haven.
We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

Great place to stay. Clean and close to all amenities. Would definitely recommend. A+

Boomerang Boulder Bach, Whareroa Village
Amazing place, the views over the lake Taupo and the mountains were breathtaking! We had the most wonderful stay, relaxing on the terrace and swimming in the lake which is only a couple minute walk from the property. Tim was super helpful and a great host. Would highly recommend!

Welcoming 4 bedroom home with lake views
Lovely, comfy stay in a clean house with high ceilings and good indoor / outdoor flow and lake views.

A tranquil lake retreat for all seasons
Perfect house seconds from Lake Taupo for our family Christmas celebrations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how immaculately clean and well-maintained the property was. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, ensuring our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The house is spacious, making it ideal for families of all sizes. We had multiple generations, including grandparents, and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The layout was perfect, with open living spaces that allowed everyone to gather together, as well as private areas to retreat to when needed. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy for us to prepare Christmas meals together, and the outdoor dining area comfortably accommodated our entire family Christmas breakfast. The new decking was an extra added bonus this year.

New Lake House in Kinloch
We booked Katrina's place for the Ironman in Taupo and it was amazing! The location was quiet, beautiful, and only 20 minutes from Taupo. It was walkable to a swimming area on the lake and to beautiful trails for running and biking. The house was immaculate and perfectly equipped for a week-long stay. My family and I were so comfortable here, I enjoyed it so much.

Taupo luxury original fishermen’s cottage
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The house is spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything we needed. The location is perfect too, it nestled in a quiet area, yet just a short drive from town. One of the highlights is the stunning outdoor deck overlooking the river. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening with the peaceful sound of the water. The interior is cosy yet modern, and the kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Just few steps across the road and you will be right at the Lake, great area for fishing. This place is a gem. Highly recommended!

Relax at Rainbow - your home away from home
Another wonderful stay here! Highly recommend, our two little boys love the playhouse and sandpit and it is very well placed to access the lake for beautiful walks/bike rides around the lake. 15 min walk to the 2 mile sailing club which is a highlight for coffee, drinks and delicious pizza. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

Tranquil comfortable house close to town and lake
