Do you long to whisk the family away for a getaway where you can switch off from the stresses of normal life and dip your toes in the water just steps from your door? Welcome to Waitetoko Waterfront!
This gorgeous three-bedroom home enjoys a premium waterfront location on the Waitetoko shores of Lake Taupo. Take in the truly spectacular views of the water from your sun-drenched open-plan living room, where comfy furnishings invite you to make yourself at home.
On a summer getaway, open the sliding glass doors on to the expansive deck and enjoy your favourite holiday drink as the BBQ sizzles away in the background. Gather together for a summer feast at the outdoor table under the shade of the umbrella, as the kids play on the fully fenced lawn.
Come winter, light the gas fireplace and make Waitetoko Waterfront your cosy home away from home, or set the perfect temperature at the touch of a button with the heat pump. Prepare delicious feasts in the fully equipped kitchen, then snuggle up on the couch for a movie on the Smart TV.
Three bedrooms comfortably sleep up to eight guests at this Waitetoko accommodation, and the master is treated to those fantastic lake views and an ensuite bathroom!
Just like you, your boat and adventure gear will need somewhere to rest for the night between trips on the lake, river and trails! Waitetoko Waterfront offers both a garage and off-street parking, and there’s plenty of space on the grass out the back to leave the boat!
This beautiful part of New Zealand has so much to offer those that love the outdoors. Try your hand at fly-fishing in the nearby Tauranga Taupo River, zip around the lake on your favourite water toy, or simply stroll along the water until you find the perfect spot for you and your book.
If you need to pick up supplies, you can nip down the road to The Store in just two minutes, or Taupo is just a 20 minute drive from home.
Fancy an adventure further afield? Tongariro National Park for hiking and snow sports is within an hours drive, and you can even soak in the hot pools at Tokaanu just 20 minutes away!
If an escape to the lake is calling, Waitetoko Waterfront is your answer! As there are sections of the deck with fixed bench seats on the edge or without a barrier, all guests should take care when using this area.
Guests should bring their own Nespresso compatible pods to make use of the available machine.

We fully enjoyed our stay, Very nice location, an excellent property, comfortable, and had an excellent view from the deck. We are going to book again.
4 adults and 4 kids (8-5) had a fantastic time. Safe yard away from main road. Great Lake front and views. Perfect location to head to the snow and only half an hour into Taupo town for dinner.
6 active ladies had a wonderful time, biking tramping and exploring the surrounds.
Waititoki was in the middle, therefore the perfect spot to head in both directions.
The bach was perfect.
This is a fantastic place to stay especially if you are looking for a quiet area away from city life. Lake Taupo is just across the road and the town of Taupo is just 30 Minutes drive away. The house has plenty of space and a great deck and grass area at the front of the house. We definitely recommend this as a great place to have a holiday.
Absolutely loved our stay. Very very restful. Despite state highway one being alongside us road noise did not impact our sleep- probably because of double glazing. Wifi would have made it even more perfect.
We had the best two weeks, felt very fortunate to have had such a lovely bach to relax in. Clean and tidy, lovely beds and so close to everything. Highly recommend.
