About this house rental

The spacious living area is designed to make the most of its spectacular setting, with large windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow framing the lake beyond. Step outside to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, gather around the BBQ for an alfresco meal, or settle in for a memorable evening as the sun sets behind the mountains.

At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen makes holiday catering easy, while the generous living spaces provide plenty of room to relax after a day of adventure. No matter the season, comfort is assured with heat pumps and a wood-burning fireplace creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Curl up with a good book, enjoy a movie on SKY TV, or simply take in the ever-changing lake views.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, this lakefront retreat comfortably accommodates up to nine guests, making it ideal for extended families, groups of friends, or multiple couples travelling together.

Perfectly positioned near the crystal-clear Waitahanui River, you'll find scenic walking tracks and the popular Rock Pool Walk just moments away. Keen anglers can try their luck in one of New Zealand's renowned trout-fishing destinations, while Mt Ruapehu's Whakapapa Ski Area is within driving distance for winter adventures. Taupō's shops, cafés, restaurants, and attractions are also just a short drive from home.

Whether you're planning a summer escape by the water or a cosy winter retreat, Waitahanui Lakefront Escape offers a memorable lakeside setting to relax, reconnect, and explore all that the Taupō region has to offer.
As the property has direct, unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

What a spot!!! Great winter retreat with a cozy yet ample living area. We loved sitting on the couch in the afternoon as the sun streamed in the lounge windows. Oh, and what a sunset!

Great communication and ease of booking. The house is bigger than you can imagine and the sort of place that you want to rent all summer. Four big bedrooms, three full bathrooms, the lounge is set up open plan and prefect for hanging around even on a rainy day with the amount of books and games available. Direct access from the outdoor area onto the lake. Only a small driveway for two cars if you are bringing the whole family but there is a small car park at the end of the road. We will certainly book again and this time take a bigger group now we now. Centrally based on the lake giving easy access to all the activities available in the region. Thank so much.

This property seems to be a much loved family holiday home - and is showing signs of that. Pros: Location - fantastic, communal living area - large and able to accommodate a group, beds comfortable and warm with plenty of bedding (bring a hot water bottle if you feel the cold), log fire - a great asset and lots of wood available, kitchen - everything you could need. Cons: Shabbier than photos - wallpaper peeling off, curtains hanging off rails, lamps either not working or no lamp shades, lakeside outside area - could do with a bit of a tart up - waterblast etc, bathrooms - master ensuite ok, others definitely showing signs of age. Major issue was the fridge was not working. 3 phone calls to Bach care before we were contacted by property manager Caz. She was amazing. Couldn't do anything about the fridge but gave us access to another one that was behind a locked door. Unfortunately this one was not much better and never got cold. We had to utilise the laundry room which was internal and cold to store our supplies. Sadly they didn't all survive and we have to discard some items. The heat pump was not working correctly - it was stuck on cold. Caz sadly could not fix this either. Thankfully the log fire was more than adequate to heat the living area. Perhaps some heating in the bedrooms other than small blow heaters would be nice. Would be a fabulous place in Summer.
