“Comfortable, easy, good space, good beds, 2 bathrooms very helpful, couch sofa downstairs a bonus for a good movie set up.”
Suited 2 families well esp with two lounges so kids can take one over,easy 4min walk to the lake which we used the kayaks at and the kids enjoyed it being a bit more like a bay so calmer. Definitely would return and recommend.

“Overall, it was a nice property which had plenty of space for our needs and was nice and close to the lake .”
It was great to have use. Of the Kayaks .
It would be a good idea to have a spare gas bottle available.
A dryer would also help.
- Simon, December 2023
Apologies, a dryer should never have been included. It was an oversight by BC. We use the cloths line under the car port. We included an additional gas bottle for future clients to use on request soon after this post. Thanks for the tip. Things you’re never told but learn as you go.

“We had an amazing time , loved the location.”
It was a great house for families to stay in. The only issue we had was on upon arrival the recycling bin was full and the barbecue was realy dirty and there wasn’t any gear to clean it We had to clean it the best we could ,apart from that we loved our stay. We had an amazing time.
- Matt, December 2023
Apologies, we added seperate items to clean the BBQ soon after this post. We decided not to include a wire brush due to the potential risks however. Thanks for the Tip.
Glad you enjoyed the place.

A perfect combination of '70s charm and modern convenience, step inside to be greeted by patterned wallpaper and cosy furnishings. The open-plan living space is drenched in sun, while the wood-burning fireplace will provide year-round warmth.

A functional layout for families and groups, this retro retreat sleeps up to eleven guests. Four generous bedrooms are split across two levels, while each floor is complemented by a full bathroom. An additional downstairs living space means there’s ample space to relax and unwind.
Indoor-outdoor flow expands your living onto the expansive upper-level deck, which enjoys outdoor seating and a BBQ. This picturesque spot is surrounded by trees, rolling hills and a glimpse of Lake Taupo!
Additional amenities at this Kuratau holiday home include WiFi, two TVs, heat pumps, laundry facilities and even a kayak. Meanwhile, you’re situated on a fully-fenced section with off-street parking.
Nestled in the lakeside village of Kuratau, you’re just a three-minute stroll to the local playground and tennis court, while the boat ramp is just a one-minute drive.
This Central North Island location means you’re surrounded by a hive of activity to suit every taste. Explore the renowned Tongariro National Park, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and home to majestic ski fields. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Taupo, renowned for its inviting swimming spots, or embark on exhilarating bike trails and picturesque bushwalks.
From serene lakeside moments to adrenaline-fueled escapades, Relaxing Retro Retreat is not to be missed!
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.
Please note that there are external surveillance cameras that will be operating for added security during your stay.
As the deck barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
All guests are encouraged to use the handrail when using the internal stairs as they are quite steep.
There is a kayak available to use but guests must bring their own life-jackets to gain access to these.
About the location
On the opposite side of the lake to Taupo, Kuratau is a small peaceful town with plenty of outdoor activities on offer. Spend the day out on the water with kayaks, boats and water skis, or go fly fishing for rainbow trout in the Tongariro River. Being further away from the bustle of Taupo, it's also an ideal location for a relaxing holiday to get away from it all. All of our Kuratau holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
