Waitahanui Lakefront Escape - Waitahanui Home

Immerse yourself in lakefront living with stunning views of idyllic Lake Taupo. Make the most of this beautiful location and enjoy a refreshing escape at the fantastic Waitahanui Lakefront Escape.

The house features a spacious living room with stunning indoor/outdoor flow opening out to the beautiful lake. On warm summer evenings, you have the option of alfresco dining with an unforgettable backdrop. Watch the sun go down over the lake and mountains in the distance. Prepare your meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, or spark up the barbecue for a classic meal hot off the grill.
Or for a toasty winter escape to the lake, Waitahanui Beachfront Escape has both a heat pump and wood-burning fireplace. Pour yourself a glass of wine and get cosy on the couch with a good book or watch TV (with SKY TV) for a bit of entertainment.

Ideally suited for large groups with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there is more than enough space for the whole family to spread out and find their own space.

Situated close to the crystal clear, free-flowing Waitahanui River, there are many easy walking tracks including the famous 'Rock Pool' walk within a few minutes. Waitahanui is famed for its trout fishing so bring your rod and give fly-fishing a go. Also, the Whakapapa Ski Field is just a 45-minute drive away for snowy adventures!

For the best chance to make the most of Lake Taupo, look no further than Waitahanui Lakefront Escape.
As the property has direct, unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Pros and Cons
This property seems to be a much loved family holiday home - and is showing signs of that. Pros: Location - fantastic, communal living area - large and able to accommodate a group, beds comfortable and warm with plenty of bedding (bring a hot water bottle if you feel the cold), log fire - a great asset and lots of wood available, kitchen - everything you could need. Cons: Shabbier than photos - wallpaper peeling off, curtains hanging off rails, lamps either not working or no lamp shades, lakeside outside area - could do with a bit of a tart up - waterblast etc, bathrooms - master ensuite ok, others definitely showing signs of age. Major issue was the fridge was not working. 3 phone calls to Bach care before we were contacted by property manager Caz. She was amazing. Couldn't do anything about the fridge but gave us access to another one that was behind a locked door. Unfortunately this one was not much better and never got cold. We had to utilise the laundry room which was internal and cold to store our supplies. Sadly they didn't all survive and we have to discard some items. The heat pump was not working correctly - it was stuck on cold. Caz sadly could not fix this either. Thankfully the log fire was more than adequate to heat the living area. Perhaps some heating in the bedrooms other than small blow heaters would be nice. Would be a fabulous place in Summer.

Best view in town!
Beds nice and clean and comfy. Lots of space with a very relaxing atmosphere. A little bit of road noise, but the views make up for it. Thanks for a great stay!

Mid winter family holiday
Three generations met up at the bach. There is lots of room for everyone to have time together as well as find quiet spaces. Fabulous view, and we all loved the big fire place.

WOW
Taupo put on the best weather it possibly could, Swimming outside was even easy without wetsuits and was safe for the children. Did have issues with the internet being intermittent, but that only made the board games late night entertainment. Did put a couple of holes in my socks from protruding nails on the deck, but no other issues. Lots of photos and fond memories. Cheers.

Family fun
We all enjoyed our stay at Waitahanui Lakefront Escape except minor setback with power tripping when two appliances were going together at once, which we easily resolved it. Neat and tidy place, hear pump and fireplace. Spacious rooms. Cazna was helpful and good communication. Quiet neighbourhood, 14 minutes to supermarket. Overall an awesome trip. We will return.
