Papatū Lodge | House in Taupo
5 Bedroom House in Acacia Bay, Taupo
Papatū Lodge is a spacious five-bedroom retreat set within pristine bush on the shores of Lake Taupō. Positioned within a 24-hectare (59 acre) residential estate called Whakamoenga Point, you will be based just 12 minutes drive from the town of Taupō. From this private setting, enjoy world-class views and immediate access to the emerald-blue freshwater lake.
You might wish to swim or kayak to the Maori rock carvings below, fish for trout off the flat rocks or go for a bush walk. Wake up to the sound of native birds, breathe in the clean air and feel the kind of stillness that only a peaceful environment like this can offer. Enjoy some of the North Island's most celebrated scenery — a vista that stretches across the Lake to the volcanic peaks of Tongariro National Park.
Step outside and Papatū Lodge opens onto generous wrap-around decks, to take in the view through every season as well as the beautiful night sky. Whether you're gathered around the BBQ on a summer evening, watching the light change over the lake, or settling in with a coffee as the bush comes to life around you, the outdoor spaces here are a genuine highlight of the stay.
Inside, the Lodge is at once welcoming and stylish. With a nod to its local Kiwi heritage, the property is equipped to ensure your stay offers maximum comfort and class. Accommodates up to 10 guests across five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with flexible bedding configurations that suit families, extended groups, or friends travelling together. An open plan kitchen, dining table and living room form the heart of the home, while the upstairs and downstairs layout gives the group room to spread out and settle in.
As part of the Whakamoenga Point estate, guests have access to double tennis courts, extensive walking tracks, the beach at Mine Bay and two private boat ramps — a rare convenience for those wanting to explore the Lake by water or heli pad. With Taupō just 10km away, the Waikato region's restaurants, hot pools, and outdoor adventures are easily within reach.
Papatū Lodge is ideal for larger groups seeking a private, scenic, and well-appointed base in one of New Zealand Aotearoa's most loved lake destinations.
