On a summer getaway, open the sliding glass doors on to the expansive deck and enjoy your favourite holiday drink as the BBQ sizzles away in the background. Gather together for a summer feast at the outdoor table under the shade of the umbrella, as the kids play on the fully fenced lawn. Come winter, light the gas fireplace and make Waitetoko Waterfront your cosy home away from home, or set the perfect temperature at the touch of a button with the heat pump. Prepare delicious feasts in the fully equipped kitchen, then snuggle up on the couch for a movie on the Smart TV. Three bedrooms comfortably sleep up to eight guests at this Waitetoko accommodation, and the master is treated to those fantastic lake views and an ensuite bathroom!

This beautiful part of New Zealand has so much to offer those that love the outdoors. Try your hand at fly-fishing in the nearby Tauranga Taupo River, zip around the lake on your favourite water toy, or simply stroll along the water until you find the perfect spot for you and your book.
