Peaceful, private and perfect for your next getaway to Lake Taupō, this two-storey beauty is surrounded by tranquil gardens and only 12 minutes' walk from the lakefront. Welcome to Garden Grove!
This thoughtfully designed and colourful holiday home is a great, laid-back spot for a family or a small group of friends to base themselves for a getaway to the lake. Enjoy sunny afternoons on the deck, BBQing all your favourites and sipping on a cool drink with the lush garden backdrop.
You’ll have all the essentials you need for a splendid stay at Garden Grove, including a large, fully equipped kitchen and laundry, as well as a spacious living room complete with sunny bay windows perfect for you and your book, a Free to Air Sony 55 inch TV for entertainment, and a selection of board games for a bit of competitive fun.
Warm and welcoming for a winter stay as well, Garden Grove is fully double glazed and offers a heat pump, electric heaters, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms to keep everyone at the perfect temperature throughout your stay.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms comfortably accommodate up to six guests here at Garden Grove. A full laundry and a garage for storing your bikes and adventure gear are also available to top it all off.
Garden Grove is located on a quiet street just a four-minute drive from the Taupō town centre. Grab a bite to eat at one of the great local eateries and browse the shops, or simply pick up a coffee and stroll the lakefront.
You’re also only moments away from the gorgeous Waipahihi Botanical Reserve, the perfect place to ease you right into holiday mode.
For the more adventurous, try your luck at the Lake Taupō Hole in One Challenge, or live life on the edge at the AJ Hackett Taupō Bungy and Swing.
A beautiful base for your next Taupō escape, Garden Grove is ready to host your stay! As there are sections of the deck without a barrier with a small drop on to either grass or paving, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls.
As the mezzanine barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
The pictured fireplace is not available for guest use.

This is a perfect house to stay in for a trip to Taupo. Roomy. And comfortable, love the big window seats in the lounge. Close to town and the lake but on a quiet street .
