Vacation rentals with lake access in Bay of Plenty

Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

The house is in a great location and the rooms are spacious enough. You can see Taupo Lake from the living room. The only minor drawback is that the towels provided in the bathroom are not clean enough. Some turn yellow, while others are covered in dust. But our family still likes it very much and we live happily.

Delightful spot. Beautiful setting. We had a cozy 3 day stay. Lovely character home, with a great set up for winter. Warm beds and great fire place made it super comfortable and easy to enjoy. We would love to come back in the summer and experience the lake again.

Fabulous family and pet stay. Great space and location for the whole family. Lovely garden and layout of communal spaces for spending time together. Thanks for having us!

This is an awesome home. Well furnished and the kitchen has every item you need to cook up a feast. Very spacious and the swim in the river was great. We will be back one day.

We stayed at Sharon's place for 4 nights and would happily have stayed longer. The home was comfortable, warm, roomy and very clean and private. Kinloch is a lovely lake side village and this home is only a few minutes walk to the marina and local store. Here we bought yummy fish and chips and icecreams in cones to eat on the lake front. Loved it!

Beautiful location and lake home charm!

Susie's loft is spacious and comfortable, and only 5 mins walk away from the lake. Smooth check in and out. Would love to stay again!

Lloyd was a wonderful host who was very thoughtful and attentive to our check-in and needs throughout our stay

Loved our stay at Irene’s. She even organised beautiful weather for us. The view from the flat is so relaxing and tranquil we didn’t want to go out. Everything was comfortable and convenient and only 6.5km from town. Thank you for hosting us…..wish we had booked for longer, as there is so much to see and do in Taupō.

Marki and Chris were fantastic hosts. We had an awesome stay, the place is beautiful and scenery is stunning. Would love to come back!

Loved our stay! Nigel’s place was in a great location and they were great hosts. We loved the coffee available!

My husband and I were in town for the NZ Ironman. The location was absolutely perfect. Liz and her partner were very kind and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if visiting Taupo!

We loved our 12 day stay and didn't want to leave. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, heated bathroom floors, adequate kitchen, bifold doors opening into lovely private courtyard gardens and then there is the panoramic view of the lake. Oh and the delux spa!! What a treat. Luxurious accomodation. Value plus! We will be back.

Marie was lovely to deal with, very easy to communicate with, a lovely warm welcome, with extras in the fridge. The property is amazing, clean, right on the lake and easy reach of Rotorua centre. The special towels for taking to the spa was a great touch! Would highly recommend to future guests.

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Lovely place close to the lake and a quick drive to Rotorua. The patio was super fun to hang out and we loved the outdoor shower. We liked staying here!

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

perfect hideaway. When I lost my phone Florence helped us by calling around. always responded fast and friendly. The love shack is fantastic. quiet, secluded, peaceful, beautifull views..

Gorgeous little place to stay in an idyllic location. We used the jetty for our boat which was so convenient, dinner and brunch at the Okere Falls store (delicious food) and slept very well in the comfy bed. We hope to be back!

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

No frills cottage in a fabulous location across the road from the river (great for refreshing swims) and a few minutes' walk to Lake Taupo. Thoughtfully stocked with books and games and full kitchen. Zara was very welcoming. A tiny bit of noise from trucks on the highway.

We had the loveliest stay, beautiful house & great walks nearby & going down to the jetty early morning was gorgeous!
