About this property

Kaihua Cottage - Family Friendly home with WiFi

Family friendly, fully fenced section, Pet Friendly, Close to town, Wi-Fi

This is a great option for family holiday makers. With four bedrooms that sleep up to 8 people you can bring the whole family along, including the pet! The front and back lawn are fully fenced and well secured with gates on either side of the house. The large back yard is child friendly with a playground set and trampoline to keep them entertained.

There is great indoor/outdoor flow with decks and seating off both the front entrance and the dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped, along with a gas BBQ available for use. Double glazed windows and *ducted central heating ensures you are cozy warm in winter.

The master bedroom features a king bed and full en-suite. Bedroom two has a queen bed, the kids bedroom has a set of bunk beds, and there is one queen bed in the fourth bedroom. A porta-cot and highchair are provided on site for the little ones.

With double garaging and plenty of off street parking for cars and the boat. Just a short stroll down the footpath and on to Kaiuru street you will find a fantastic children's park, as well as a walkway that is a shortcut to the Taupo Riverside Park and town centre.

This is a modern Kiwi Bach as we know and love, it is a simple and affordable privately owned home, made for families to enjoy and make lasting memories of Great Lake Taupō. For this reason, there may be a level of personal belongings.

Great family accommodation
This house was perfect for our family, with plenty of board games, books, puzzles and blocks to keep our 3 year old busy. Not to mention the play area outside. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything we needed for meals at home. The house was very clean and tidy, with heaps of room to spread out (and get some personal space back after staying in small apartments). Not much within walking distance but only a short drive into town. The only thing it was missing was cooling, otherwise it was 5 stars!
