About this property

Peaceful apartment type, 3 mins walk to the water. brilliant location.

  • Luxurious recently-renovated detached dwelling in Waipahihi Bay, 3 minutes' walk from the lakefront and a 4 minute drive from central Taupo. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this apartment is brand-new as of late 2019, and is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing getaway, plus a double sofa bed. Free off-street parking is available immediately outside, and bicycles are available to explore the area. Sunset views of the lake and mountains are visible from the front of the property and main house. ( roll away sofa bed is in the bedroom ... all beds in one room) Please don't drive up driveway as access and turn around is very tight. Plenty of parking out front.

Relaxed stay in Taupo

Loved the quiet and secluded courtyard with the view of the lake while also being sheltered from the wind. Safe for our little dog to have a wander as well. Location was great with a short drive into Taupo town. Bed was very clean and comfortable and we slept very well during our stay. We would happily stay agin!
