Summary:

Step back in time at this cosy Kiwi bach, full of nostalgic charm that brings back classic childhood holidays.



Conveniently located within walking distance of a superette, shops, cafés, restaurants, the town centre, the lake and the Sunday market. It is the perfect base for your Taupō adventures!



Promotion – Stay 3 nights, pay for 2 (*T&Cs below).



The Space:

Step back into a bit of nostalgia in this cosy older home with three bedrooms, sleeping up to six guests. Two rooms have queen beds, and the third has a king single with a trundler.



The classic kitchen and laundry bring back the feel of old holiday homes, while modern comforts like a heat pump in the lounge and heaters in the bedrooms keep you warm year-round.



Outside, the kids can enjoy the backyard, and there’s a lockable shed for bikes and gear. You’ll also have off-street parking and a sunny deck that’s perfect for your morning coffee or an afternoon drink after a day out in Taupō.



If you’re in town for one of Taupō’s many events, this cottage is in a fantastic location. The Ironman swim start is just a 5-minute walk away, T1 is close by, and the run and cycle routes are right on your doorstep—making it easy for friends and family to support you throughout the day.



A simple, nostalgic getaway in a great spot.



Guest Access:

Check-in instructions will be sent to your message thread three days before your check-in date.



The Neighborhood:

The lake is an easy five-minute walk down the road. The house neighbours a Foursquare Superette and a café. A block away is The Brantry, a local fine dining restaurant. The house is within walking distance to several more restaurants and on Sunday, you’re merely blocks away from the weekly craft market.



If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only 200m from the property, so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start and end, is only a quick drive away.

    Old house, old furnishings, but clean and acceptable. Easy stroll into town with a Four Square nearby.

    Such a nice little tidy home. All you need for the perfect stay in Taupo. It’s close to town but far enough to be a little quieter.

    The property is a classic lake style property, built around the 1940s or 1950s. The big plus is the location, walking distance to town and only a few hundred metres from the lake for walks and runs, etc. The property isn't double glazed but the heat pump was adequate and we weren't cold. We enjoyed the stay and Taupo is a great place to visit.
