Pleasant

Family at Wharewaka is a very pleasant bach in a quiet location. Very close to the lake and handy for a bike ride to town or a short drive. Plenty of room for our group of 10 adults, the kitchen had all you need appliances. Also lots of room outside. 15 minute walk a brand new Woolworths and 15 minute walk the other way, a cafe, minigolf and pin bowling.

Great Stay

We had an excellent family stay, was a lovely clean house perfect for what we needed, not too far from Taupo town but far enough, would use again. Would just suggest maybe a little rubbish bin in the downstairs bathroom.
