Are you looking for something a little different? You found it! Only 1km outside of local amenities, this home has an idyllic semi rural feel on acreage. An expansive property with abundant birdlife, Tuis, Bellbirds, Grey Warblers, Kereru and the smells of native New Zealand bush all on a manicured property. Listen to the Moreporks at night and enjoy the odd hedgehog visitor whilst you sit out on the balcony, straight off your bedrooms french doors, under the starry night. An absolute hidden jewel. I go to lengths to make sure your stay is memorable, from the little homely touches to a wood stove with stacks of firewood plus two heat pumps (air cond/heating) to keep you cozy in winter with electric blankets on all beds. French doors in the bedrooms to fling open in the summer to let light and sunshine in. All the luxury and comfort you would find in a boutique hotel but in a stand alone home where you have complete privacy. A nurturing home and surroundings so if you are after a space of your own to rest ....... to comfort you ........ to heal you, come!! I am currently blocking out one day prior and post your stay to give you peace, the home is yours. I share the property just over the fence in my cottage that you may only just see through the ever expanding garden paradise. I am available if you need me or will leave in complete privacy. The choice is yours. Rural, quiet, no noise other than natures sounds. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - In-room accessibility - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Fridge, dishwasher, toaster, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96890000/96887300/96887263/75dd52fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeside Haven - Taupo Holiday Home Wharewaka - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=96887263&PinnedHotelID=96887263&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117640000/117634800/117634756/fb4933cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern and cosy home Private, fully fenced Wharewaka - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=117634756&PinnedHotelID=117634756&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37960000/37952000/37951981/5138711d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Te Kopua - Acacia Bay Holiday Home Acacia Bay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=37951981&PinnedHotelID=37951981&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100520000/100510100/100510100/3cfd0706.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Sweet Spot Taupo Waipahihi - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=100510100&PinnedHotelID=100510100&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106690000/106681500/106681416/0a3c9dbb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Muirs Reef Lodge, Kinloch holiday home Lake Taupo.
