Vacation rentals with lake access in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

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.

Beautiful place , definitely enjoyed our stay . Catered to everyone’s needs . Communication was amazing even though it was a weekend thanks to Kristin and team . Most definitely recommend booking and looking forward to our next booking cheers

Great place to stay. Clean and tidy, plenty of space, beautiful views.

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.

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.

Terri was a great communicator. The property is great quality and was perfect for our needs. Thank you Terri

We absolutely loved our stay! The entire house is cozy, spotless, and incredibly well-maintained—we couldn’t believe it’s pet-friendly. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The handwritten welcome letter was such a thoughtful touch, making us feel truly welcomed. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beautiful and relaxing Kinloch Beach. Huge thanks to Sharon and Steve for being such wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back!

Tracy's place is beautiful, modern and clean, with photo's being very accurate to reality. Right over the road from a lovely park around the lake. Plenty of roadside parking, and nothing in Hamilton too far away. Check-in via a code was easy. We had a very pleasant stay - thank you!

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!

A lovely quiet spot in the trees and a short drive to the lake. Everything was thoughtfully done and we loved our stay. A good space for our 1 year old as well.

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.

Excellent views. You'll find anything you need in that accomodation. we had a really nice stay !

We had a fabulous stay, felt very homely. would definitely recommend Lakeside. Lovely breakfast and and location hosts were very friendly.

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..

We were two couples travelling together and had a great time here! We cooked each night and enjoyed the surroundings. Both bedrooms were comfortable the doors out to the deck on our room were great. The doors and windows in the whole place allowed for a lovely breeze. The lounge and dining rooms allowed us to eat and relax comfortably, the deck was also a fabulous spot for the afternoon and morning. A great location for an easy walk to the general store, white water kayak watching and the Okere Falls walk too - loved that!!

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!

Gorgeous. Peaceful. Unique. Christine was a delight to liase with. Went the extra mile.

such an amazing get away! the property is stunning and there is so much to do. the animals are so cute and the row boat was so so fun. the host is the sweetest and was so welcoming we will definitely be back:)
