Property Description
The Bach Is a well appointed holiday home in the Old Wharewaka area of Taupo. The bach is set up for families with a well fenced yard ensuring the safety of your little people, board games and some outdoor games available also. There is also the space for older children/teenagers in the garage with a second tv to use for movies or gaming and means you can all have some space on those dreaded rainy days. Whilst this is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house there is a set of bunks and another bathroom in the garage for over flow. The Wharewaka Reserve and its north facing beach are only 3-4 minute walk away and include a large children's playground. The beach area is very suitable for swimming, and launching small sail boats, kayaks or stand up paddle boards. A boat ramp at 3 Mile Bay is close-by for launching larger boats, and the Lions Walk/bike way can take you all the way back to Taupo township. The rainbow point shops, the Landing, with ten pin bowling, mini golf, bar and cafe, two mile bay Sailing Club are all within walking distance making it a perfect location to enjoy the peace and quiet of old Wharewaka with the added bonus of being able to get out and about if you feel the need. Taupo township is a 10-12 minute drive away, with many restaurants and cafes, hot pools, and plenty of other entertainment options. Whether you are looking for some adrenalin pumping adventure, such as a bungee jump, jet boat ride, or trip to the mountain (90 minutes drive away), or something a bit more mellow, like a hike or peaceful trout fishing. Or to just enjoy time by the lake or on the deck with a drink this is a great location for how ever you choose to holiday. This is a family home in a quiet residential area, not suitable for large groups of adults. Disruption to the neighbours will not be tolerated.

Comfortable and tidy house We had an excellent stay here, the place was clean, tidy and had everything you could possibly need at a holiday Bach. Locations was great, outdoor area connected well and had lots of sun. The parking up the driveway was also useful. Check in and out was made simple.

Great spot We had a great few days at this bach. Very quiet street. Good bbq and deck for an evening drink. Close to boat ramp and walk to lake. The sleep out was great for our older son. As was having an extra shower etc out there. Big grass verge in front to park boat, and could easily accommodate 2 vehicles in driveway..easy to communicate with host.would recomend.

Hi Alice, I just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the lovely stay at your home. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease in such a cozy environment. Your house is not only beautifully maintained but also exceptionally clean and tidy, making it the perfect retreat for our family. We truly appreciate the effort you put into creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our adventures in Taupo and Whakapapa were unforgettable, and having a comfortable place to return to after a day of exploring made all the difference. The snow activities were exhilarating, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for being such a great host, your hospitality truly enhanced our experience. We look forward to returning someday and will definitely recommend your lovely home to friends and family. Best regards, Jean & family Auckland, NZ
