About this cottage rental
The Lodge boasts direct access to Lake Taupo via a path at the front of the house, leading to a secluded beach on the beautiful Lake Taupo.
Folding sliding doors on the lakefront sidqe of the house ensure a seamless transition from inside to outside during the summer months and the seculded north facing courtyard and outdoor fireplace is a year round sun-trap.
On the lakefront terrace there's plenty of outdoor space to relax with deck chairs and an outdoor dining table and chairs.
The beautifully decorated interior holds all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway, both for couples or families, You’ll find a Jetmaster fire to enjoy in winter, and a smart TV with a DVD player and DVD library. There's a Jaimo sound system with speakers stretching into both living areas, meaning you never have to be away from your favourite tunes.
Sink back into the luxurious couches and take your pick of reading material from the extensive library. Open plan living allows you to enjoy cooking in the beautiful kitchen, while your loved ones relax in the lounge. Check out the hidden butler’s pantry with doors leading out on the back terrace.
Three elegant bedrooms, all with ensuites, make up the spacious living quarters. Upstairs enjoy the master suite, consisting of a super king bed, Bose CD player and walk-in wardrobe. Walk out onto the balcony offering an incredible vantage point and say good morning to those amazing lake views! Downstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms, one with a queen sized bed, and the other with two double beds.
The living area is multi-level with a drop of 60cm between the dining and living room.
There is a separate, tennanted studio apartment rented on a permanent basis underneath the house.
Parking for cars is available in the Battleaxe driveway. Do not enter or use next door's gate (795 Acacia Bay) for any purpose; it is not a part of the Kauawhi Lodge.

We were unsure if we had the entire property or not, as we read after booking that the flat underneath was occupied.
We did not know if we were able to use the attached (empty) garage or not.
The WiFi did not work at all (the Deco WiFi expanders were flashing red and not connected) there was no Sky TV, we eventually managed to find TVNZ+ on the TV and only two live TV channels.
We did not know that there are multiple stairs/levels and stone floors which was difficult for an elderly guest. There were electric heaters in the bedrooms, but the only heat source for the rest of the large lounge, study, kitchen, seating area is a very large open fire, for which two bags of firewood and one bag of kindling were supplied. The firewood was all gone after one night and we had to go and buy more on the Saturday morning as it was very cold.
There is an old dial type thermostat for "underfloor heating" which we turned up but all the floors were cold to the touch throughout our stay.
The ensuite extractor fan upstairs is VERY loud, screeching and rattling when on. We made the most of our stay but expected better for what we paid for.
