About the host
Hosted by bridry491
Hi, My name is Bridget and I manage the renting out of our family holiday home in Taupo.
Why they chose this property
We love this holiday home and our family are constantly having to take turns over the school holiday's to fit in a relaxing family break. We love the summer's in Taupo with the boating, waterskiing, fishing, biking and generally having a wonderful time exploring at the lake's edge. The winters are great fun too with the hot pools, fly fishing, the mountain only an hour away by car for skiing and exploring all the things Taupo has on offer that we don't want to leave the lake to explore in summer!
What makes this property unique
Warm, relaxing house. Great for entertaining with the two big decks. Great location - peaceful relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle of Taupo town but only 10 minutes drive into town and 2 minutes to the airport. 10 minutes to the nearest fly fishing river. 7 minute drive to the nearest mineral hot pools.
