Wharewaka Hideaway - Wharewaka Holiday Home
Wharewaka Hideaway is a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom Wharewaka holiday home in Taupo. This well appointed, comfortable lake base is an excellent option for a relaxed lake getaway!
This 2 storey Wharewaka holiday home includes modern, open plan living downstairs. Keep cosy indoors by the fire for cooler stays, or relax on the deck with a peek of the lake for summer stays... the Weber Q BBQ is on hand for dining al fresco!
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs at this Wharewaka accommodation. Bedroom 1 is fitted with a super king bed, and opens onto a private verandah with tranquil lake views. Bedroom 2 is fitted with 2 single beds. Downstairs bedroom 3 is fitted with a queen bed, and bedroom 4 is fitted with 3 single bunk sets. This large bedroom also has a sofa and a 50" TV which can be connected to Youtube and your Netflix account.
A bathroom on each floor completes the convenient holiday set up at Wharewaka Hideaway.
When you are not unwinding on the deck, the Wharewaka Reserve and its north facing beach are only 3 minute walk away and include a large children's playground. The beach area is very suitable for swimming, and launching small sail boats or kayaks. A boat ramp at 3 Mile Bay is nearby for launching larger boats, and the Lions Walk extends all the way back to Taupo itself, or back down to 5 Mile Bay!
For your next Taupo escape, head to the lake and enjoy Wharewaka Hideaway!
Please be advised that no car is allowed to be parked on the back lawn.
Please remember to bring your Nespresso-compatible pods for a delicious coffee fix in the morning from the Nespresso 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.
