Sit down in the lounge and enjoy watching TV or sit back and just relax with one of the many books available to read. On the colder times, keep cosy by the warmth of the fire. A 2 minute walk to the local village golf course. Enjoy the many native tracks for walking or cycling located in the area. Only a twenty minute drive to the Taupo township.

A fabulous place to stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Location is brilliant, just a short walk to the beach, marina and local store, and a 20 minute drive to Taupō. Lovely hosts - very accommodating. 100% recommended.

Homey in Kinloch
Loved this place! Ron and Sas made us feel right at home and their place was so cute and comfy. We loved the quiet neighborhood and how close it was to a beach. Couldn't have asked for a better find to suit our needs--thank you!
