    Set above Lake Taupo on a peaceful rural estate, Muirs Reef Lodge enjoys panoramic views across the lake to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Ruapehu. Native birdsong replaces traffic noise, dark skies reveal spectacular stars at night, and every room has been designed to make the most of the breathtaking surroundings.

    Whether you're planning a golfing escape, trout fishing adventure, family holiday or simply seeking complete privacy to relax and reconnect, Muirs Reef Lodge offers an unforgettable experience.

    The lodge accommodates up to eight guests in four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each featuring its own private ensuite bathroom. Premium super-king beds dressed in quality natural linen ensure every guest enjoys exceptional comfort and privacy.

    Outside, decks overlook the lake and surrounding countryside, while two outdoor stone baths provide the perfect place to unwind beneath a sky full of stars.

    ## Designed for Relaxation

    Muirs Reef Lodge has been thoughtfully designed for guests who appreciate peace, privacy and space.

    Spend your mornings enjoying coffee while watching the sunrise over Lake Taupo.

    Take an afternoon walk through nearby native bush tracks.
