A fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to self-cater your stay here at Kapuka Paradise.

Enjoy the afternoon sun on the deck and lawn at this beautiful property. With plenty of seating, there’s room for everyone to share an alfresco meal and chat long into the warm summer evening, or perhaps stage a family board game challenge! When it’s time to retire to recharge the batteries for tomorrow, Kapuka Paradise has three generous-sized bedrooms with ideal bedding configurations for most groups. The master suite upstairs can only be described as a retreat, with its luxurious king-size bed plus 2 single beds, ensuite, private living area, and balcony with breathtaking views. Both showers have the luxury of their own hot water cylinders. From Kapuka Paradise it’s just a one-minute walk in either direction to the swimming only beach at Four Mile Bay. There’s also a walking trail so you can take a stroll while admiring the stunning lake views. Bring the jetski, the bikes, even your ski gear; there is a small garage available to lock it all away (not to mention there's a spare fridge available too, giving you more space for refreshments!) You can even securely park a small boat on the back lawn, and it's only a two-minute drive to the boat ramp! Taupo Central is just a short 10-minute drive away with plenty of shops and eateries, as well as activity options when you’re looking for a bit of adventure. Find your happy place at Kapuka Paradise! As there is a section of the deck without a barrier with a small drop on to pavers, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls.As there are fixed bench seats on a section of the deck, adults should closely supervise young children in this area to ensure they do not climb the deck barrier.Please note that Bedroom 1 has one king bed and two king single beds (one is a pop up trundler).Please note that Bedroom 3 has two sets of king single bunks.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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Streaming services - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony/patio - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,399 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121970000/121967800/121967761/7c6149aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom Lakeview Retreat with private indoor geothermal spa Waipahihi - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=121967761&PinnedHotelID=121967761&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37910000/37907000/37906915/f4f46b65.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Acacia Views - Acacia Bay Holiday Home Acacia Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 8.8 Excellent 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=37906915&PinnedHotelID=37906915&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119160000/119157200/119157115/cfa0e2f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Taupo Views-family Retreat and close to everything Nukuhau - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=119157115&PinnedHotelID=119157115&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, toaster, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100020000/100012300/100012252/6fa55e36.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Our Happy Place - Kinloch Holiday Home Kinloch - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor Space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=100012252&PinnedHotelID=100012252&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104870000/104861300/104861215/8dd7c280.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great Lake Getaway Taupo Taupō Central - Hot tub - Free WiFi - Laundry - Outdoor Space 9.6 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=104861215&PinnedHotelID=104861215&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119300000/119295300/119295279/6eaadbff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake House - On Pokaka- with Lake Views, outdoor eating, cosy wood burner, ping pong table.
