Luxury retreat for two beside the great lake

The ideal location for a relaxing getaway, our spacious apartment is the perfect retreat for two. Enjoy privacy, gorgeous lake views, nature walks, onsite parking, and independent access off an extensive deck overlooking the lake. Entry is into a spacious lounge with kitchenette, fridge/freezer, dual hobs, dishwasher and microwave. The separate bedroom has a king-sized bed, wardrobe and bedroom furniture and opens out onto a timber deck and lawns. The adjacent bathroom has twin basins, toilet and a fully tiled shower. The whole apartment has underfloor heating for those cooler months. Your accommodation is located on the lower level of our home in Whakamoenga Park, a private gated community 10 km from Taupo CBD and 7 km from the Acacia Bay store and The Bay restaurant. Our guests are welcome to make the most of the communal facilities of gardens, bush walks, tennis courts, and lake access while respecting the natural environment and the privacy of local residents.

Amazing place that I'd recommend! The bathroom and showers are a highlight (I rank a good bathroom high in search criteria). The beds are comfortable with incredible views to wake up to. Lots of amenities and thoughtful little touches e.g. good storage for clothes, basic ingredients in the kitchenette, extra tea towels in kitchen. And there's more! Lynne and her husband are great hosts, friendly with great communication and gave us a heads up anout restaurants being busy due to the iron man competition. Thanks for a great stay!

Loved our stay!
Great location, close enough to town while a bit off the beaten path. Very friendly, hospitable hosts. Beautiful, well-appointed, clean, newly built space in a lovely setting with incredible views and soothing birdsong. Highly recommend!
