Just a stone's throw from the lake, it offers unbeatable views and a tranquil setting. With three cozy bedrooms, plenty of character, and a newly renovated bathroom, this charming home is perfect for families or couples. Whether you're here for golf, shopping, fishing, skiing, sightseeing, or simply seeking a year-round retreat The Space: This centrally located property is just 5 minutes from Taupo town center and a 3-minute drive from the 2 Mile Bay Sailing Centre. It's the ideal spot to unwind by the water with a refreshing drink and a delicious wood-fired pizza. If you enjoy walking or biking, the Lions Walk is just moments away. The home offers three bedrooms: Bedroom 1 features a king-sized bed, Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed, and the third bedroom includes two single beds. The bathroom has a shower and vanity, with a separate toilet for added convenience. Please note: This property is strictly not suitable for parties, events, or loud groups. Guest Access: Guest have access to the whole property, including the garage and out-house with separate toilet, you will also find the outdoor chairs to place and enjoy the BBQ and outdoor dining. Please note : from parking or the garage it is up some stairs to access the single level home. Other Things to Note: Rotorua is only one hours drive and Hawkes Bay within 1.5 hours drive for a day of sightseeing and for the active traveler the Ski field and Tongariro crossing is an 1.5 hours drive. The Glowworm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from. Interaction with Guests: We like to give our guests their privacy but Kerry is available by phone or text to answer any questions and we are only ever 10-15 minutes drive away if needed in an emergency. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88970000/88969900/88969862/088a8924.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elegance of Te Kopua, Lake views and Birdsong Acacia Bay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=88969862&PinnedHotelID=88969862&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104450000/104445900/104445822/7777738f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marina Views - Watermark Apartment Nukuhau - Pool - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=104445822&PinnedHotelID=104445822&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88970000/88969900/88969823/e369b23c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunset dreamer Summar Wharewaka - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=88969823&PinnedHotelID=88969823&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104970000/104961500/104961463/88f1ffc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview Bush Hideaway - Pukawa Holiday Home Pukawa - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=104961463&PinnedHotelID=104961463&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112590000/112584300/112584264/84dc5c1c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Willow Lake House - Lake Taupo Holiday Home Rainbow Point - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=112584264&PinnedHotelID=112584264&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122920000/122919000/122918980/b1cca3d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peacefull lake view haven 10 mins walk from Lake Taupo located in Omori.
