Chloe “Coud not fault this property, just wow!”
It was perfect for our Matariki whānau weekend away! The view was incredible and is a bach that has everything you need to just arrive, settle in and not leave for the duration of your trip! Thanks for sharing this special place with us!
- Chloe, June 2024Kellie “Great property.”
We've stayed here with friends twice and love how close it is to the lake. A clean, tidy and comfortable stay.
- Kellie, February 2024Louise “My friends and I had an amazing stay in this house.”
The house is lovely and has a great view of the lake. We would love to come back again soon :)
- Louise, January 2024Vicky Singh “The place was amazing, stone throw from the lake, beautiful views, clean, home away from home, will surely book again.”
- Vicky Singh, August 2023Navpreet “Great place to stay, amazing views.”
Felt like home away from home. Will definitely visit again.
- Navpreet, May 2023Mike “Superb place”
- Mike, February 2023Jude “Our experience with Bachcare was extremely disappointing.”
My daughter, her husband and I brought our little dog with us, understanding that it was possible for pets to stay at the property, as there was no indication on either the website or the booking form that pets were not welcomed. However, on our second day I received an email from Bachcare noting that they had been informed that we had a dog and that it wasn’t permitted and we had to find alternative accommodation for her. After several emails to and fro, in which we stated that we wouldn’t have chosen this particular property if we had known it was not pet friendly, Bachcare insisted that if it wasn’t stated on ‘advanced filters’ on the website that the property was pet friendly, you had to assume that it wasn’t! We asked for a refund for the remaining days so we could find alternative pet friendly accommodation but were told it wasn’t their policy to offer refunds. The whole experience was very stressful, especially for my pregnant daughter, who had envisaged a last relaxing holiday before her baby is born. So my advice to anyone wanting to bring pets on holiday, first check the ‘advanced filters’ on Bachcare or don’t use Bachcare at all. On another note, after all the palaver about pets, we couldn’t be bothered mentioning that there were no dish washer tablets, soap or shower gel provided and as mentioned by others, the noise of large trucks passing by all day and night on what is basically SH 1 was noticeable despite double glazing.
- Jude, January 2023We understand that this must have been stressful for you and we are sorry that you understood this to be a pet-friendly home. We do have over 350 properties around New Zealand that welcome your pet! Bachcare
Rosemary “Everything was great.”
The kitchen and amenities were well appointed, and the view was amazing. It was very comfortable and relaxing. The only issue we had, which was minor, was the lack of additional bathroom tissue, paper towels in the kitchen and dish soap. Also, the location of the home was right on a main highway, with traffic noise.
- Rosemary, December 2022We are delighted that you so enjoyed your stay at this wonderful bach and have noted your feedback which will be addressed. Hope to welcome you back very soon! Bachcare
Don “We have been going to Taupo for over 50yrs and this was the best location for what we wanted to do.”
Close to the beach and boat ramp and wonderful views, We were apprehensive about the main road but the double glazing negated all the truck noise at night and it was not an issue
- Don, January 2022Kaye “This is a lovely property with awesome views of Lake Taupo.”
Great facilities and a fabulous home for a family or group of friends to gather and relax. Thank you. Kaye Arnott and family

The property
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 onto 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, kick off your mornings with a piping hot coffee from the Nespresso machine whilst soaking in the stunning views of the lake. Or in the evenings, light the gas fireplace and make Waitetoko Waterfront your cosy home away from home, alternatively you can 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, or make use of the Wi-Fi to satisfy those tech cravings. 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.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.About the location
