The Tin Hut
Tucked away in a tranquil and secluded right of way, The Tin Hut in Kinloch, Taupo, surpasses its exterior, providing an inviting setting for your upcoming lakeside experience, whether with family, friends, or colleagues. True to its name, The Tin Hut isn't merely a basic structure but a skillfully transformed tin shed featuring three bedrooms, open-plan living, two bathrooms, and a privately fenced backyard.
This property boasts a well-equipped kitchen with gas cooking, laundry facilities, and a high-stud garage for storing valuables during your stay. Additionally, ample off-street parking allows you to bring extra vehicles, boats, or jet skis. The Tin Hut comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, offering a queen bed in the master bedroom, another queen bed in the second bedroom, and two singles in the third bedroom.
Enjoy the serene outdoor entertaining area and fire up the BBQ, perfect for both winter and summer with the louvre roof system. One furry friend is also welcome to join, with a spacious outside lock-up and kennel provided. Please inquire about the pet fee and bond.
Centrally located in Kinloch, just 17 minutes from Taupo's main center, The Tin Hut offers easy access to the golf course and a leisurely stroll to the lake through the Whangamata Track. Whether exploring local attractions like New Zealand's largest lake, the Great Lake Trails, and two golf courses, or simply basking in the peaceful surroundings, there's something for everyone.
For water enthusiasts, Kinloch Marina is a mere 800m away. The Kinloch Store, situated on the picturesque lakefront, serves as your one-stop-shop for all your needs while enjoying a relaxing holiday retreat.

Great
The property was great. I had real anxiety about the front door been locked. I was told it would not open untill 3pm on the day of arrival and locked at 12 MD. I had a 2 hour extension as we were doing the triathlon on the day and was charged 60 extra i thought this was a bit steep. Other places just say yes that's fine.
