About this property

Kinloch Lakehouse, a fabulous family haven

Our cherished family holiday home is perfect for families/groups to enjoy - the large fully fenced section gives kids plenty of room to run around. The lakefront is only a short walk down the path at the end of the road, with no roads to cross.

For sports lovers there is the 10-hole Kinloch Golf Course at the end of the road and the 18-hole championship Jack Nicklaus signature golf course only a short walk away. The W2K mountain bike/walking trail begins in Kinloch through native bush providing spectacular views across Lake Taupo to the mountains of the Tongariro National Park.

We look forward to seeing you.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100.00 per stay); Linen (Optional, NZ$120.00 per stay).

Great spot for a family

This house had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. We were 6 adults and 4 children. There were plenty of games, toys and even a huge trampoline for the kids. The location is stunning and very peaceful. It’s a bit of a drive into Taupo but this was fine as we spent most of our time at the house. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect for Groups

We loved our stay at this property. 10 friends enjoying time together and taking in the local rides around the area. Wiahaha to Waihora, boat transfer to Kawakawa Bay and then riding back to Kinloch. Perfect wee walkway down to the lake at the end of the street for lake swims! House had everything we needed and more! Great to have enough room for everyone around the table! Thanks so much!

Family Friendly with an Awesome View

The house is the perfect size for a family gathering, with a lovely view from the deck. Easy and clear communication with Caroline, the property manager, and responses to queries were very quick. A quick stroll down the road and through a short bush/lake front walk takes you down to the shop and restaurant/cafe in 5-10 minutes. Can't thank the owners enough for sharing this property with others.

Beautiful House with a Pretty Location

The house was fantastic and just what we needed after a long day of hiking. Two full bathrooms was much appreciated with a group of our size. Location was pretty and a three minute drive to the lake, though is a 20 minute drive to Taupō city centre. Considering the price difference between locations closer in and this place though, this is a much much better value for money. Hope to stay again in the future!
