About this property

Cottage near Lake Taupo on Tauranga Taupo River

A well presented and reasonably priced cottage very close to the lake and Tauranga/Taupo river on the Eastern side of Lake Taupo - 10Km North of Turangi Township. A very quiet, picturesque and peaceful area and very central to the numerous attractions and facilities of the Central Plateau of the North Island. Great accommodation for anglers/fishermen, skiers/snowboarders, tourists, wanting to get away from the bustle of city and big town life, or someone just wanting to break their journey for a night [or more] in a marvelous location.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$50.00 per stay); Linen not supplied. Bring your own sheets, pillow slips, and towels.
Check in after 2pm on day of arrival and check out is by 11am on day of departure.

The little house was everything we needed on our winter road trip. Plenty of heaters and blankets to keep us warm. The decor hasn't changed much since the 1960's but that just added to the charm.

Little Gem
Stayed with my elderly mother who loved the birdsong emanating from the adjacent wetlands. Bird watching heaven, all from the back porch. Close to the scenic walkway along the Tauranga Taupo river; more birdwatching joys await. Bach is simple and functional for any family and ideally located for a multitude of outdoor activities.
