This house is in a perfect location; walking distance to the lake and the ‘Mole and Chicken’, ‘Social Club’ and ‘Jolly Goodfellows’ restaurants.
You can enjoy the lakeside walk to the town centre. It’s also a quick drive or walk to the nearest Foursquare Supermarket. On Sunday you’re merely blocks away from the weekly market.
If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only one block away so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start and end, is only a quick drive away.
