Rustic Retreat (Bachcare) Waikato Street, Taupo Central - 2 night minimum stay

Nestled in the quiet residential streets of Taupo, this retreat is a short walk to town. The delightful 2 bedroom rustic cottage overlooks the Waikato River and Taupo Bungee while offering 2 bedrooms. The first is fitted with a queen bed and while the second offers 2 singles - perfect for children of all ages. There is also a double sofa bed in the living area, providing additional space for up to 6 guests. All the essentials are provided, which include WiFi and a generous 50” television.

This holiday home includes open plan living that flows onto the sunny north facing deck, complete with BBQ and furniture, ideal for taking in the views across to Mount Tauhara. In winter the fireplace is the perfect addition for toasty winter retreats or after a days’ skiing at Whakapapa, only 1.5 hours away.

Taupo is distinguished by its lakefront setting and great outdoor adventures including fishing, jet-boating, kayaking, hiking, biking, as well as the nearby bungee and skydiving adrenaline tours, and the world famous Tongariro Crossing which is within an hour’s drive. 

Lake Taupo drains into the Huka Falls which are easily accessible by hiking and biking trails and not too far from local thermal areas and hot springs – just some of the natural wonders of New Zealand.

Rustic Retreat welcomes you for a refreshing Taupo getaway!
