"Every time we travel to Taupo we stay at Mototere holiday park. It is clean, well maintained and friendly staff. Trout fishing over the road is good. Trucks passing on main road through the night we thought would be a problem, after our first stay it didn't become an issue at all. Only 15 minutes travel from Taupo it is a excellent place to rest up and relax. Thank you Mototere holiday park, we will be back"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Waitahanui?
The best area to stay in Waitahanui is along the Waitahanui River and the adjacent lakefront, particularly around the Waitahanui River Mouth.

This area is the heart of Waitahanui, known for its direct access to Lake Taupō and the river. It's a relaxed, residential area primarily featuring holiday homes and B&Bs. The Waitahanui Store is a local landmark, providing essential supplies. The river mouth itself is a renowned spot for fishing, offering shallow, clear waters.

For fishing enthusiasts, this location is ideal. You're literally steps away from prime fishing spots along the river and the lake. Many accommodations here offer direct access to the water, making it incredibly convenient for early morning or late evening fishing excursions. The focus here is on the outdoors and the pursuit of trout.

Families also find this area appealing due to the calm waters near the river mouth, which are suitable for children to paddle or play by the lake's edge.
When is the best time to go to Waitahanui?
The best time to go to Waitahanui is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

During this period, the average daily temperatures range from 20°C to 25°C, with long daylight hours. This is superb for enjoying the Waitahanui River and Lake Taupō, whether you're interested in fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. The weather is generally settled, with less rainfall compared to other times of the year.

For those who enjoy fishing, especially fly-fishing for trout, the summer months offer excellent conditions. The river is a popular spot, and the warmer water temperatures can make for a more pleasant experience. Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the opportunities for leisurely strolls along the riverbanks or picnics by the lake, enjoying the scenic surroundings.

While summer is peak season, the shoulder months of November and March can also be lovely, offering milder temperatures and fewer crowds.
