Ursula “Brilliant place to stay.”
The patio area with outdoor fireplace and long table was an amazing space to hang out in. Even in the middle of winter, with the clear blinds down and fire blazing, it was toasty warm. The house is super handy to the boat ramp and fishing rivers.

Susan “Beautiful spot close to our boat in the marina.”
Ideal.Thanks.
- Susan, May 2024Heidi “Beautifully presented property with fantastic amenities.”
The covered in deck area was brilliant for the rainy day and night we had. We used the outdoor area every night for dinner and admiring the beautiful view. The additional cabin was gorgeous, loved the set up of beds. A dishwater would have been handy, as we stayed for seven nights. But we were happy enough to wash our own dishes. Only thing we weren’t sure about (which isn’t a biggie) was rubbish. We couldn’t find any information on getting rid of these items, either from the bach care emails or in the visitor info book at the house. Netherless we took all of our own rubbish with us. Thank you for a relaxing break away
- Heidi, December 2023Jordan “Loved our stay, there was plenty to do around the house!”
lovely home.
- Jordan, November 2023Shontelle “Thank you for having us.”
Perfect accommodation for our family. There is more then enough room for a big family like ours. Beautiful view, peaceful, warm, very comfortable. Our kids loved it here!! We look forward to staying again some day soon.
- Shontelle, April 2023Diane “Great spot right on lake.”
Perfect family get away over Easter.
- Diane, April 2023Anna “We have just had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend away with family.”
Perfect property for accessing the Lake, clean, tidy, well appointed. Loved the outdoor space and the raft of entertainment options for the kids. They didn't even notice they had no TV time. Thank you - we will definitely be back if you will have us.
- Anna, February 2023Tiffany “Wonderful place, amazing location.”
VERY well appointed (well stocked kitchen). Had everything you could ever need for a holiday. 100% loved every part of the place. Thank you so much! Only side note would be a lock on the toilet/bathroom door for privacy. But not a big deal at all.
- Tiffany, December 2022Sally-Anne “Another fantastic stay at Waters Edge Retreat, truly relaxing with everything you need.”
- Sally-Anne, November 2022Kimberly “The property had a fantastic view and is in a very quiet area.”
Check in was super easy, however, during our stay we noticed a few things. Rubbish from the previous guests was left behind next to the fireplace and there was no kindling or fire starter left behind (rendering the indoor and outdoor fireplaces useless until we could get to the shops). There was a guest booklet left behind which wasn’t helpful at all and at the very least the password for the wifi could’ve been included in this booklet for the convenience of the guests. After using the shower, we found that the drain had a blockage and a towards the end of your shower the water would take much longer to go down resulting in lots of puddling. Overall, despite the Bach having a good location, it’s clear that not a lot of effort has been put into it. This is the first and last time we will make a booking using BachCare and using this platform was a mistake in the first place.
- Kimberly, August 2022Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us and delighted that you enjoyed your time at this beautiful property. Our apologies for the few items missed here and will address these immediately. Bachcare
Manu “Gorgeous spot great indoor out door flow.”
Loved sitting by fire in outdoor party of chillywinter weekend. Would definitely recommend. Just the detail of lack of toilet paper been only downside.
- Manu, June 2022Revin “Such a cool fireplace ideal for any weather.”
- Revin, December 2021Simon “Nice quiet location.”
Great outlook across the lake. House was spotless, and Betina was excellent. Prompt communicator, flexible with arrival time, and was there when we arrived. Had a nice family weekend there.

The property
Time to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with your family and friends? This lakefront holiday home complete with sleepout and incredible outdoor entertaining area is just the place to do it. Welcome to Waters Edge Retreat! Bring the family, bring the boat, and bring your sense of adventure - there’s room for it all here on the shores of Lake Taupo. Set at the back of a large section with views for days, Waters Edge Retreat has everything you need for a relaxing and carefree stay. A spacious open-plan living area is light and bright thanks to floor to ceiling glass doors that provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the courtyard. In the morning, make yourself a fresh cup of Nespresso coffee and wander down to the lakefront to scope out your fishing spot for the day. Come evening, spark up the BBQ to grill your fresh catch of the day, and share an alfresco meal at the table, large enough for the whole family. You won’t miss out on dining with a view on those mid-year getaways; the courtyard can be closed and an outdoor fireplace lit, to create a cosy space to eat and chat long into the evening. Make the house cosy and warm with the log burner before you settle in for the night. Two bedrooms in the main house have luxurious king size beds, while a sleepout offers bunks and singles. A generous sized bathroom in the main house provides conveniences for everyone, including a corner bath perfect for the kids. For an fun day here at Waters Edge Retreat, why not grab the kayaks for an early morning paddle on the lake, then come home and roll out the table tennis table or set up one of the many board games for some family fun! Winner shouts the afternoon tea at the Licorice Cafe just five minutes walk up the road. Or venture further afield to the Trout Farm in Turangi or the hot pools in Tokaanu, both less than 15 minutes drive away. Why not take a scenic drive along the lake to Taupo, or through the dramatic Tongariro National Park to Whakapapa! Who needs a TV when it's just you, the family, and a location that can’t be beat. This is Waters Edge Retreat!
There are life-jackets available to use with the kayaks, but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.
The single pull out and king single beds in the sleepout can be joined together to make a queen bed. Please tell us which configuration you require at least three days before your stay so we can arrange the appropriate linen.
Please be aware the sleepout at this property is accessed externally and the bathroom is inside the main dwelling.
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
