Lakefront Lodge - Kuratau Holiday Home

Just steps from the lakefront and with views to take your breath away, this four-bedroom Kuratau bach is an ideal spot for two families to come together on a Lake Taupo getaway. Welcome to Lakefront Lodge!

The simple and cosy open-plan living space here at Lakefront Lodge seamlessly transitions onto a generous sized entertaining deck, offering you plenty of options to relax and enjoy lakeside living. This is the place for enjoying the sun, watching the kids as they play on the lawn below, or entertaining family and friends with a relaxed BBQ meal. There's an outdoor table and seating for 12 people!

Furnished with your comfort in mind, this bach is drenched in sunlight right up to its vaulted ceilings thanks to large sliding glass doors and large picture windows. On a hot summer day, open everything up to let the cool lake breeze flow through, or nestle into a bean bag on the deck and soak up the sunshine. A basic Sky TV package is on offer if you feel like a bit of light-hearted, effortless entertainment.

Lakefront Lodge offers a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of storage to bring all your favourite holiday treats from home. There's even an additional fridge in the hallway, ideal for ensuring there's always a cold drink available.

Spread across three levels, this lakefront bach has four bedrooms with bedding configurations to suit any group. The main bathroom offers a shower-over-bath to cater for all ages, and the master bedroom has an additional ensuite toilet for added convenience.

The private, gated front lawn here at Lakefront Lodge gives direct access to the lakefront reserve. You can enjoy swimming, kayaking, boating and fishing right on your doorstep! It's also just a 100m walk to the tennis courts and nearby lakeside walking tracks.

The local store and the coffee shop are a short five-minute drive away. For day trips, you are less than an hour from Taupo town centre, just over an hour from Ohakune, and 45 minutes to the Whakapapa Ski Resort.

Settle in for a getaway just steps from the water - Lakefront Lodge awaits!
As the property has direct access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

As the deck barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.

The fourth bedroom does not have internal access to the main house.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.
