The Bach Is a well appointed holiday home in the Old Wharewaka area of Taupo. The bach is set up for families with a well fenced yard ensuring the safety of your little people, board games and some outdoor games available also. There is also the space for older children/teenagers in the garage with a second tv to use for movies or gaming and means you can all have some space on those dreaded rainy days. Whilst this is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house there is a set of bunks and another bathroom in the garage for over flow. The Wharewaka Reserve and its north facing beach are only 3-4 minute walk away and include a large children's playground. The beach area is very suitable for swimming, and launching small sail boats, kayaks or stand up paddle boards. A boat ramp at 3 Mile Bay is close-by for launching larger boats, and the Lions Walk/bike way can take you all the way back to Taupo township. The rainbow point shops, the Landing, with ten pin bowling, mini golf, bar and cafe, two mile bay Sailing Club are all within walking distance making it a perfect location to enjoy the peace and quiet of old Wharewaka with the added bonus of being able to get out and about if you feel the need. Taupo township is a 10-12 minute drive away, with many restaurants and cafes, hot pools, and plenty of other entertainment options. Whether you are looking for some adrenalin pumping adventure, such as a bungee jump, jet boat ride, or trip to the mountain (90 minutes drive away), or something a bit more mellow, like a hike or peaceful trout fishing. Or to just enjoy time by the lake or on the deck with a drink this is a great location for how ever you choose to holiday.
