Raptors Haven - Kinloch
Welcome to Raptors Haven, a peaceful retreat nestled amid lush native bush with stunning views across Kinloch and Lake Taupo. Whether you’re after a summer getaway by the lake, a golfing weekend, or a cozy winter escape, this modern and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect base all year round.
Designed for relaxation and connection, the open-plan living area flows seamlessly onto two outdoor entertaining spaces, each capturing sunshine and scenic views — ideal for morning coffee, evening BBQs, or simply soaking up the tranquility. With two separate living areas, there’s space for everyone to unwind — one can even be closed off for a quiet movie night or kids’ playtime.
Sleeping up to 6 guests, Raptors Haven is family-friendly and well-equipped for comfort and convenience. The double internal garage provides secure storage for bikes, golf clubs, and adventure gear, while the ample off-street parking ensures there’s room for the boat or jet ski.
Perfectly positioned, this elevated property captures the best of Kinloch living — peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and easy access to outdoor fun. You’re just a 3-minute drive from the Kinloch Marina and local store, with two golf courses, biking, and hiking trails right on your doorstep.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. The house is so quiet and we all slept so well here. Location for us was perfect and loved the views. Only tested our host once, but quick and friendly response. Would love to stay again in the future.
