Muirs Reef Lodge | Private Luxury Accommodation, Lake Taupo, Kinloch
Leave the city behind and discover one of Kinloch's most private luxury retreats.
Set above Lake Taupo on a peaceful rural estate, Muirs Reef Lodge enjoys panoramic views across the lake to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Ruapehu. Native birdsong replaces traffic noise, dark skies reveal spectacular stars at night, and every room has been designed to make the most of the breathtaking surroundings.

The spacious open-plan living area features soaring timber ceilings, comfortable seating, a wood-burning fireplace and magnificent views across Lake Taupo. The fully equipped kitchen and generous dining area provide everything needed for your stay.
The lodge accommodates up to eight guests in four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each featuring its own private ensuite bathroom. Premium super-king beds dressed in quality natural linen ensure every guest enjoys exceptional comfort and privacy.
Outside, decks overlook the lake and surrounding countryside, while two outdoor stone baths provide the perfect place to unwind beneath a sky full of stars.
