The Lake Escape - Taupo Holiday Home

This charming lodge-style holiday home creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere, where you can feel at complete ease with your family or small group of friends. With the added comfort of full double glazing throughout, the home stays warm and peaceful no matter the weather outside.

After a long day of adventure, make yourself at home in the open-plan living space. Watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV, post your snaps using the complimentary WiFi, or unleash your competitive side by challenging your group to a board game from the available selection.

The generous kitchen is perfect for whipping up your holiday favourites. If you've been out fishing, make use of the handy fish-filleting bench to prep your catch for the BBQ, then dine alfresco on the north-facing, sun-drenched deck.

The Lake Escape comfortably accommodates up to six guests across its three bedrooms. A family bathroom plus a bonus guest toilet complete the set-up for your stay.

Taupo has a variety of local attractions to enjoy. You’ll fall in love with the stunning Huka Falls just a 15-minute drive away, or drive 12 minutes and unwind in the relaxing and unique Wairakei Terraces Hot Pools.

If it’s some shopping, a bite to eat, or just a lakeside stroll and some people-watching, you're just a four-minute drive from the Taupo town centre.

Fully equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable Taupo getaway, The Lake Escape is waiting for you!
As there are fixed bench seats on a section of the deck, adults should closely supervise young children in this area to ensure they do not climb the deck barrier.

Please note there is one main bathroom plus a separate toilet and basin only.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and an ironing board.

Great place in a great location!

A lovely home with plenty of space and very warm. Beds were comfy. Very good location with a teeny view of the lake. Everything you need ... and a carport. The only downside is the poor phone and internet reception, but a good time to take a break from technology! We loved our stay and would recommend it.
The deck which would be awesome in fine weather.
