Bring the dinghy and you can watch from the deck while they bring home a trout for dinner. There's something about being right on the water front. Coffee and Tea provided. This home has everything you will need. Recent guests wrote Mahuta has the WOW Factor!!!! We have stayed in many locations around the Great Lake and 114 Mahuta rates the best. With its proximity, a few paces, to the lake, low level, and stunning 180-degree panoramic views it rates the best accommodation available in our opinion. Richard and Viv Millward Guest Access: We have two listing profiles for this property. You are viewing the profile for 12\. No access to the garage, plenty of parking on the property. Not suitable for camping or campervans The Neighborhood: Holiday homes and a couple of permanent residences make up this neighbourhood. No local store close so all supplies need to be brought with you. Getting Around: By car or bike. Other Things to Note: Please note there is no TV, we hope you enjoy the beachfront living and not want to be indoors, we have good games there for you all to enjoy! 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 - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Games ### 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 ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119240000/119234700/119234669/bd69cb08.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wakeman Cottage, a cozy getaway overlooking lake Taupo Acacia Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=119234669&PinnedHotelID=119234669&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37910000/37910000/37909948/e0938bed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kinloch Family Retreat - Kinloch Holiday Home Kinloch - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=37909948&PinnedHotelID=37909948&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89500000/89498300/89498226/7524f9b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront prime location in Rainbow Point - fab!
