Lisa 
“This is obviously a much loved family holiday home that is showing signs of age.”
Great location and lovely comfortable communal living area. Great log fire with plenty of wood. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you might require. Property shabbier than photos. Curtains hanging off rails, wallpaper peeling off, lamps either not working or no shades. The biggie was the fridge not working. We were given access to another fridge but this was sadly no better. The heat pump stuck on cold so unusable. The Bach care agent (who was just lovely!) was not able to get it working ...
Great location and lovely comfortable communal living area. Great log fire with plenty of wood. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you might require. Property shabbier than photos. Curtains hanging off rails, wallpaper peeling off, lamps either not working or no shades. The biggie was the fridge not working. We were given access to another fridge but this was sadly no better. The heat pump stuck on cold so unusable. The Bach care agent (who was just lovely!) was not able to get it working either. However the log fire was more than adequate to heat the living areas. Beds very comfortable and warm but some heating other than small blow heaters in the bedrooms would have been nice. Master bathroom great, others showing their age. The outside could do with a bit of a tidy-up - waterblast the deck etc.

Marie “Beautiful home on the shores of Lake Taupo.”
Direct access to the lake, easy access to the Waitahanui River for fly-fishing, and only a short drive to Taupo CBD, attractions and activities. The home is spacious with lots of natural light. Highly recommend and will definitely book to stay again.
- Marie, March 2024Lagona “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
It was bigger than I thought so much room for everyone. It was a shame we didn't get to enjoy it more as we had the rugby tournament most of the morning for the first three days and then Taupo activities in the afternoons but all in all a fantastic place. I will definitely book it again and next time when it is summer.
- Lagona, September 2023Ya Mone “Right next to the lake.”
My favourite thing was waking up early in the morning and enjoying the view with a cup of coffee. A lovely house with a vast living room for all of us to hang out. We loved the fireplace. The couches have stains, and we didn't feel comfortable sitting on them. Three rooms on the other side were cold because the plugs on the wall didn't work and we couldn't use the heaters. The water has an awful smell. It would be a perfect place in summer.
- Ya Mone, August 2023Hi Ya, Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear there were issues with the property during your stay. We have addressed these issues with our local team. Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback as we are always working on improving the care of our properties. Bachcare
Mark “The house was lovely and spacious with a fireplace in the living room and a heat pump.”
So, we were nice and cosy. The view was really breathtaking. We were literally a few steps from the water. The house was big and had an interesting shape. And even though we were 8 people, using the bathrooms were not an issue because they had 2 full bathrooms and an on suite. We easily fit 2 cars into the front driveway, and we were able to close the gates with ease.
- Mark, August 2023John “Lovely house, with a well set up lounge kitchen with the central fireplace keeping us all warm.”
Plenty of room to stretch out. Totally met our needs next to the beautiful Waitahanui River
- John, July 2023Wendy “Our second stay, love proximity to lake and views, plenty space, rooms and bathrooms for our three generations, very handy to the road to cheer on our two cyclists in the Great Lake challenge, and conveniently appointed kitchen.”
Thanks again, Wendy and Bob
- Wendy, November 2022PECELI “When we got the property it was raining.”
the sunroom window top part where it meets the joint. There was rain water coming between the gaps. We had to move the bed and couch that was there from getting soaked. But property was lovely. Next time if we could have access to the kayak :). Thanks
- PECELI, November 2022Uwe “The location of the house is very cool.”
Sraight at the lake with uniterrupted view of it. Very nice.
- Uwe, October 2022Herita “Wrote in book.”
Great place for Whanau.
- Herita, September 2022Carolina “Please note that the BBQ really does need upgrading.”
it was also very dirty, and we had to buy a wire brush to clean it. (which we left behind for the next person although we cleaned the BBQ before departure). Also to note that the skylight in the small bathroom leaked throughout the stay. not great for when the ladies are sitting on the toilet they get dripped on. Those two things aside we did really enjoy the house and would recommend.
- Carolina, September 2022Ryan “Great place to stay with plenty of space.”
Out of the city enough to be nice and quiet but close enough to pop out if you need to get anything.would definatley stay here again.
- Ryan, September 2022Nehal “As usual the best house in Taupo.”
Twice I have booked this house once in summer last year and now in winter this year. Will definitely recommend this beautiful house but the lake. Only thing was heat pump did not work but had a great fire place in the house so it all worked out well and good.
- Nehal, July 2022Wendy “Perfect stay for family.”
Easy access to lakeside. Busy road at back, quite at front. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms.
- Wendy, March 2022Louis “Nice location, love the view of the lake from the bedrooms.”
There were a lot of stains throughout the house, curtains were torn and had stains on them. There were a lot of spider webs throughout the house. The condition of the place, I feel it was over charge.
- Louis, February 2022Pip “Wonderful property for a group, with great beach access and views.”
No shade provided ( umbrella) we recommend you take your own gazebo. We loved this location
- Pip, January 2022Leanne “My family enjoyed staying at this Bach.”
The location is quiet, spacious and well presented. The indoor outdoor flow is great and makes the most of all weather conditions.
- Leanne, January 2022Zubaidah “Beautiful and stunning location, need full makeover.”
- Zubaidah, January 2022Madeline “We loved our stay at Waitahanui!”

- Brent, November 2020Jo “Great location and very practical house.”
We absolutely loved our stay and are looking forward to coming back other time.
- Jo, November 2020Julie “Being able to go to sleep with the sound of the lake nearby was amazing.”
To be able to wake up and take in the beautiful views was how we started our day. The house was exactly what was promised. Definitely be coming back here.
- Julie, November 2020Sandra “A palatial stylish warm lake side residence with 4 + bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, all the modern conveniences required including a well fitted out kitchen.”
Although located outside of Taupo very easy to drive to attractions/supermarkets. The river paths are beautiful for walking or bike riding. We had a very enjoyable visit. Many thanks
- Sandra, October 2020Sarah “We had a brilliant weekend in Taupo with our 2 adult children and their partners.”
The house is right on the lake and is huge It is quiet and warm. As well as 3 double bedrooms it was great to have 3 bathrooms also as it meant that everybody had plenty of space and privacy. We went for a number of walks up the nearby stream/river, swam in the lake and rode our bikes to 5 Mile Bay. Highly recommended.

The property
Immerse yourself in lakefront living with stunning views of idyllic Lake Taupo. Make the most of this beautiful location and enjoy a refreshing escape at the fantastic Waitahanui Lakefront Escape. The house features a spacious living room with stunning indoor/outdoor flow opening out to the beautiful lake. On warm summer evenings, you have the option of alfresco dining with an unforgettable backdrop. Watch the sun go down over the lake and mountains in the distance. Prepare your meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, or spark up the barbecue for a classic meal hot off the grill. Or for a toasty winter escape to the lake, Waitahanui Beachfront Escape has both a heat pump and wood-burning fireplace. Pour yourself a glass of wine and get cosy on the couch with a good book or watch TV (with SKY TV) for a bit of entertainment. Ideally suited for large groups with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there is more than enough space for the whole family to spread out and find their own space. Situated close to the crystal clear, free-flowing Waitahanui River, there are many easy walking tracks including the famous 'Rock Pool' walk within a few minutes.
