Houseboat Lake Taupo

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 83 reviews4 months ago

What a great experience to stay at Karl & Maureen’s house boat. We participated in the Ironman 70.3 event so this location was really convenient for our needs, yet still way from the crazy crowds so we could relax. The house boat was comfortable and had everything we needed. Major bonus to be able to swim off the back of the boat.

Taupo luxury original fishermen’s cottage

4.75 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews1 month ago

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The house is spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything we needed. The location is perfect too, it nestled in a quiet area, yet just a short drive from town. One of the highlights is the stunning outdoor deck overlooking the river. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening with the peaceful sound of the water. The interior is cosy yet modern, and the kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Just few steps across the road and you will be right at the Lake, great area for fishing. This place is a gem. Highly recommended!
