About this property
Secluded & Cosy - 5min to Town
Summary:
Welcome to your cozy getaway just around the corner from Taupō's renowned 'DeBrettes Thermal Pools', the Botanical Gardens, and a mere five-minute drive from the vibrant town center. This charming three-bedroom retreat is the ultimate base for your family holiday adventures while you enjoy all Taupō has to offer.
Welcome to your home away from home in beautiful Taupō
The Space:
Step inside to discover a snug and inviting atmosphere, complete with all the amenities you could wish for during your stay. With three bedrooms accommodating up to six guests, everyone will have their own cozy space. Two bedrooms have queen-sized beds, while the third offers a king-single bed with a handy single trundle underneath.
The bathroom offers a shower and a bath, were you could relax at the end of the day and a separate toilet for added convenience.
Forget chilly nights with double glazed windows throughout, and a toasty gas heater in the lounge ensuring warmth and comfort. There are portable heaters, a panel heater in the bedroom’s hallway, and for those extra chilly nights, electric blankets guarantee a snug night's sleep.
Embrace the morning sun as you sip your coffee on the welcoming patio, accessible from the lounge, dining area, and master bedroom. Fully fenced for peace of mind, it's the ideal spot for little ones to play safely while you soak up the serene surroundings.
Hungry? Whip up family meals with ease in the fully equipped kitchen. Need parking? No problem! A covered carport accommodates one vehicle, while a lockable garage offers secure parking for a second.
The house is nestled in a tranquil suburb overlooking Taupō. Just moments from the iconic DeBretts Thermal Pools and Botanical Gardens, with the shimmering lake just a quick two-minute drive away, and the bustling town center a mere minute or two further, you're never far from the action.
