About this cottage rental
Wharewaka Cottage is a self-contained cottage situated at the rear of a lakefront section at 57A Wharewaka Road, offering lake views and direct access to the Lions Walkway and loveliest beaches below. The historic building was part of Taupo's first motel being two units opened up to make a warm and sunny cottage containing all the comforts of home - perfect any time of year. It particularly suits two couples or one family because of its compact size. It is 10 minutes from the centre of Taupo, a few minutes away from Taupo Airport, Ploughmans restaurant, take-away and dairy facilities at Two Mile Bay, boat ramp and right on the local bus route. Walk, cycle or run all the way to town on the Lions Walkway or head out to Wharewaka Point for childrens' playground, panoramic views of Lake Taupo and spectacular sunsets!

Comfortable and charming cottage near the lake. Everything was clean and spotless and organised. A narrow corridor view to the lake was pleasant. If the TV was a little newer we could have streamed from our devices. I would also have liked a little milk to get us started with a cup of tea or similar when we arrived but otherwise a brilliant property for a couple or small friends group.
