About this property

Wharewaka Cottage is a self-contained cottage situated at the rear of a lakefront section at 57A Wharewaka Road, offering lake views and direct access to the Lions Walkway and loveliest beaches below. The historic building was part of Taupo's first motel being two units opened up to make a warm and sunny cottage containing all the comforts of home - perfect any time of year. It particularly suits two couples or one family because of its compact size. It is 10 minutes from the centre of Taupo, a few minutes away from Taupo Airport, Ploughmans restaurant, take-away and dairy facilities at Two Mile Bay, boat ramp and right on the local bus route. Walk, cycle or run all the way to town on the Lions Walkway or head out to Wharewaka Point for childrens' playground, panoramic views of Lake Taupo and spectacular sunsets!

Sisters weekend

A great place in a gorgeous garden setting with lake access. Very well equipped. Comfy and cosy and could open whole place up to deck and garden and sun.. Nice and private outdoor area. Definitely recommend and will go back. Thanks Gill.

The best cozy spot

We arrived late in the day, and the fire had been lit for us so the house was cozy and inviting. The beds are good, the water pressure is on point and the place is supplied with everything you could think of. It's only a short 7min drive (if that) back into central Taupo, the Landing and the new Countdown are very close and if you're heading to the mountain, you're in the right side of town to head down there. This is a great spot and one we will be back to for our next trip.
