About this property

Classic holiday spot, memories at Wharewaka Beach

Summary:
Original 1960's great Wharewaka holiday home full of character, only 2 mins walk to one of the best beaches in Taupo. Wharewaka comes alive at holiday time.
Bring the boat, canoes, jet ski, bikes spend the days at the lake and evening BBQ's on the deck. Fully fenced & gated, we are even happy if you want to bring the dog! Your visit will be packed with laughs, fun times & good memories. Based on my experience your kids will talk about this place forever. No WIFI.

The Space:
Linen included ...... Please note there is no WIFI. As you enter from the front door the front room has a queen bed with wheelchair access bathroom. The next two bedrooms have single beds. Down 3 steps to a shower with separate toilet, on into a large room with double bed and 2 singles. Wash house, washing machine, dryer, 2nd fridge and freezer. There is a separate sleep out with 2 single bunks (4 beds) and a bathroom. Prefect for the teenagers.

This is the quintessential bach not flash but clean and comfortable and a very special place for large groups.

Guest Access:
The whole home is yours to access and enjoy we hope enjoy the property.

The Neighborhood:
Safe and friendly neighbourhood. Safe beach, great holiday location.

Getting Around:
You will need a card or walking shoes.

Other Things to Note:
Rotorua is only one hours drive and Hawkes Bay within 1.5 hours drive for a day of sightseeing and for the active traveller the Ski field and Tongariro crossing is an 1.5 hours drive. The Glowworm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from.

Interaction with Guests:
We like to give our guests their privacy but Kerry is available by phone or text to answer any questions and we are only ever 10-15 minutes drive away if needed in an emergency.
