Our Treasure Cottage Retreat at the lake

Located in a quiet grove, our home has a modern open plan living area which flows out to a large outdoor living area, featuring a private back yard with all day sun.
Within walking distance there is a large lakefront reserve, cafe, tennis courts, kids playground and bush walks to explore.
The supermarket is 15 minute drive and 2 boat ramps just a minute away.

A modern take on kiwi Bach with the 3 bedrooms and bathroom located off the perfectly sized open plan living area, a double ranch slider leads out to the deck, patio and bbq area featuring year round sun and privacy.
Cozy yet surprisingly spacious with plenty of warmth and light coming from the high up north facing windows, while during the cooler months the gas fire quickly warms the whole house.
Fully equiped entertainers kitchen with island bench.
Family sized bathroom with full laundry alcove.

Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third bedroom has king single and a set of single bunks, all made up with linen ready to go.
We also have a Porta cot and high chair for the little ones.

Kids will love the back lawn for games and quiet grove with gentle slope for bikes and scootering.
Off street parking for 2 cars or car and a boat.

Perfect base for Whakapapa ski field, Tongariro crossing and various mountain biking or walking tracks.

Arrive, unpack and relax. No need to worry about making beds as
your beds are made up for you, with your towels at the end of each bed. Wifi is unavailable, but there is excellent mobile coverage at the house.

Very nice property that is modern, clean and well equipped. Relatively small with all rooms (including the bathroom) off the lounge/ kitchen area but not an issue depending on the group.

We spent Christmas here with our toddler, and parents visiting from Scotland. The cottage was ideal. Peaceful, homely with plenty of outdoor space and a well supplied kitchen. Highly recommend!

The owners have done a lovely job furnishing the property. It's near the Westside of Lake Taupo. Great fishing and very nice beach, but there a couple of issues. The property lacks internet! It's the 21st century, not having internet is like not having indoor plumbing or electricity. Without the internet, there's no smart TV. The owners told me (after I checked-in) that they didn't realize it was important, and that people could use their cell phones. I'm an international traveler, and don't have a NZ cell plan as all prior properties in NZ have had internet. At the very bottom of the listing, it said no Wi-Fi, but that doesn't mean no internet. They've spent a small fortune decorating the place and no internet seems out of step. Lastly, the unit gets very hot, and when I would arrive home in the afternoon, I had to open the slider and front door. This invited in the moths as the sun set. Every night, I would get attacked by moths. Trust me, after the first night this got old. The property is very nice, but the owners need to install internet and find a way to cool the property. If they fix these issues, it could be a great place to stay.

Really great location - close to lots of lovely tracks and walking distance to the boat ramp and river mouth and the cafe/winery at Kuratau. Compact, modern and very tidy property. Has everything you need for a relaxing break. Owners are great communicators. We had a fantastic summer holiday with our 17 and 20 year old kids. We got lots of use of the BBQ and great deck and outdoor area. Ideal for a summer vacation.

The cottage was very clean, tidy and comfortable and had all that you would need in a home away from home. The location was perfect for both adults and young children. A lovely peaceful spot to relax and enjoy family time.
