About this property

Karamu Retreat - great base for group or family, quiet area, two storey, sunny with outdoor deck.

Need a great home base for your next group or family holiday to Taupo? Karamu Retreat is an ideal spot.

Bright and relaxed, this sunny 2 storey holiday home has a comfortable and open plan living space, sleeps up to 10 people and has a great outdoor BBQ and dining deck.

The fireplace will ensure you stay toasty during those cooler months, or open up the lounge doors and unwind on the deck.

Pleasant street in a family friendly area. The area is generally quiet, flat and easy to get around on foot or by bike. Plenty of takeaway food and grocery stores within a short distance.

Tons of off street parking for your boat or jetski. Five minute drive or 20 minute walk to the main town centre.
