Holiday rentals with lake access in Taupō

amazing house overlooking the whole lake. kid friendly as well. Michelle was lovely 😍

Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

A spacious and cozy location a short drive from the lake and Taupo center. It was super roomy for our family. While I walked up Mt Tauhara, my family slept and watched TV. Highly recommend this location and host!

We had a great stay! The house was very clean and comfortable. It was the perfect base while visiting friends in the area. The neighbourhood was quiet but still had plenty for the kids to do. Check in was super easy and we arrived to a nice warm home with the lights on for us! We loved our stay at Karen’s!

We had a lovely stay at Sharon’s. Everything was tidy and well kept - if we’re ever planning to stay in the area again we will definitely book here again!

lovely roomy house with comfy beds. a lovely view of the lake.

Lovely little place super close to the main strip, eaily walking distance to most activities within the area, super friendly host for our brief conversation to ensure i had the rundown on anything i may have missed 10/10

We absolutely would stay again in a heartbeat. Never stayed in Kinloch before…..but what an awesome surprise as the setting was magical. Soaking in the hot tub overlooking all the differing vistas, reminded us of Queenstown. Hosts are amazing, and their beautiful home has all the comforts of feeling at home. So if anyone thinks being 15mins out of Taupo is a negative…..trust me, you will not regret staying here! Relax, enjoy the views and there’s lots of walks or bike rides to explore, and then come back for a magical soak in the hot tub.

A very quiet and peaceful place with a stunning view of the lake — we woke up to the sounds of nature and watched the sunset from the window every evening. The house was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully arranged: a comfortable bed, warm blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen. What we appreciated the most was the sense of calm — it’s the perfect spot to disconnect and recharge. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!

My asian parents are skeptics of Airbnbs, and this stay was a nice reminder that we can find a safe, cozy home away from home. The heater wasn’t the warmest at first, and Llyod got help down to solve it ASAP. It was wonderful, comfortable and the best sleep we had on our short trip. We all loved the heated beds. Parking right outside was convenient. Could have had a bigger/one more bin in the toilet.

Great place to stay very accessible for the walking and riding around the lakefront. Also walkable to the shops.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home ….. our hosts Marki and Chris were just wonderful and everything about the space and the surroundings was top notch. The furnishings, decor, attention to detail, lovely treats and overall vibe of the home was very special …. Walking distance to the most beautiful little bay, surrounded by nature was awesome. Would thoroughly recommend!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and the house was very comfortable with all we needed. Very tastefully decorated with lots of lovely thoughtful touches...thank you Lu. Lovely view of the lake and yhe Acacia Bay location was serene. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved my stay, left in the morning, returned at night, had awesome sleeps, comfortable and warm. Ngā mihi!

Thank you Shelley for having our family stay in your amazing unit. Very helpful and clear instructions, incredible lake views and easy walking access to the lake and hot water beach. The highlight for us was the outdoor geothermal pool - such a cool and uniquely NZ experience!

What a beautiful apartment. The views from the lounge and the master bedroom were amazing. Looking straight across Lake Taupo. The kitchen facilities were fantastic with lots of utensils. . Bathrooms were a good size Parking was easy and undercover. Thoroughly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

The place is it is as described. My children love the toys inside and the backyard. Great walk to a lake nearby.

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

We had a wonderful stay at Zara’s place! It was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. My son absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend for a relaxing and comfortable getaway!

Great stay, easy walk to the lakefront, quiet neighbourhood, and close enough to the town centre! 10/10

Thank you for the stay Ally. Fantastic street appeal, felt safe and quiet, with the walkway around the lake a very short stroll away. The home was quirky and everything about the stay was explained well. Great space for up to 6 guests, highly recommend.

Rebecca's place is a lovely 2 bedroom house with a sunny deck. Just a minute or two walk down the street you arrive lakeside to stunning views. We enjoyed the use of the free kayaks and spending a full day in Motuoapa bay. We checked out Rebecca's food recommendations and had yum fish and chips from Challenge and a delicious lunch at The Liquorice Cafe. The winter nights were cosy with the heatpump on. We thought Rebecca's place was excellent value for money and were delighted to have our wee fox terrier share in the adventure. Definitely recommend this escape from bigger towns to a peaceful, pretty house in this wee bay.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful, cosy place. Comfortable bed. Nice shower with good water pressure. Quiet surroundings. Alexandra generously provided lots of complimentary food like snacks, fruit, milk, breakfast cereal etc as well as tea and coffee. Even comfy bath robes were provided. It felt like luxury but at an affordable price!

Great place to stay right by the lake. Easy to get to Taupo from the house.
