Taupo holiday homes & baches

New Zealand’s tradition of family-owned holiday ‘baches’ means Taupo offers an extensive range of private holiday homes nestled on the lakefront, romantic cottages surrounded by native bush and birdsong, or spacious modern homes with access to the best of the region.

Self-sufficient holiday homes are ideal for groups and families, with privacy and all the comforts of residential living. If you enjoy a relaxed and private environment away from other holiday makers and want to experience the real essence of Kiwi living, this option is well worth exploring.

Discover the perfect holiday home in Taupo

Nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, Taupo is a haven for travellers seeking adventure, relaxation, and stunning natural beauty. With its crystal-clear lake, majestic mountains, and a plethora of activities, Taupo is an ideal destination for your next holiday. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, an adventure or a solo retreat, finding the perfect holiday home can top off your experience. Here’s why renting a holiday home in Taupo could be one of the best decisions of your trip.

Why choose a Taupo holiday home?

Holiday homes or what Kiwis call baches, offer a unique blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Unlike hotels, holiday homes provide the space and amenities of a private residence, allowing you to experience living like a local. You can enjoy home-cooked meals, entertain friends, and relax in a comfortable, personal environment. Taupo's holiday homes range from charming lakeside cottages to luxurious modern houses, catering to various tastes and budgets.

Enjoy views of Taupo’s unmatched natural beauty

One of Taupo’s biggest draws is its breathtaking natural scenery. Staying in a holiday home means you can wake up to views of Lake Taupo, the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while gazing at the tranquil waters or the snow-capped peaks of the Tongariro National Park in the distance. Many holiday homes are strategically located to offer easy access to these stunning vistas, ensuring you’re never far from nature’s beauty.

More flexibility for activities and adventures

Taupo is synonymous with adventure. From skydiving to jet boating, the region is a playground for thrill-seekers. Renting a holiday home can also offer more space for adventure and sports gear. If you prefer a slower pace, you can explore geothermal parks, take a dip in natural hot springs, or hike through lush forests. Renting a holiday home gives you the flexibility to plan
your activities without being tied to hotel schedules. You can come and go as you please, making spontaneous decisions that enhance your adventure.

Local culture and cuisine

Staying in a holiday home allows you to immerse yourself in Taupo's local culture. Visit the vibrant markets, dine at local eateries, and discover hidden gems that you might miss if you were staying in a hotel. Many holiday homes come with fully equipped kitchens, so you can also experiment with local ingredients and cook your own meals. This not only saves money but also gives you a taste of everyday life in Taupo.

Space for the kids to spread out

For families, holiday homes are a fantastic option. With multiple bedrooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces, you can enjoy quality time together without feeling cramped. Many homes are equipped with entertainment options like games, books, and Wi-Fi, ensuring that both kids and adults are entertained. Proximity to family-friendly attractions such as Huka Falls, Taupo Bungy,
and the Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort makes it easy to plan fun-filled days.

Looking for luxury and relaxation?

If you’re looking for a touch of luxury, Taupo’s holiday homes won’t disappoint. A good range of high-end properties offer amenities such as private pools, spa baths, and expansive decks with panoramic views. These homes provide a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing you to unwind in style. Indulge in a massage, enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace, or simply relax in a beautifully designed space that feels like a home away from home.

Eco-friendly sustainable stays

Taupo is also home to eco-friendly holiday homes that cater to environmentally conscious travellers. These properties often use sustainable materials, energy-efficient appliances, and eco-friendly practices to minimize their impact on the environment. Staying in an eco-friendly home not only supports sustainable tourism but also allows you to enjoy Taupo’s natural beauty responsibly.

How to make the most of your stay

To make the most of your Taupo holiday home experience, consider the following tips:

Book Early: Popular homes can get booked up, especially during peak seasons. Plan ahead to secure your ideal accommodation.

Read Reviews: Check online reviews to ensure the home meets your expectations in terms of cleanliness, amenities, and location.

Communicate with Hosts: Reach out to the property owner or manager with any questions or special requests. Good communication can enhance your stay.

Explore Local Services: Many holiday homes offer additional services like housekeeping, grocery delivery, and tour bookings. Take advantage of these to enhance your comfort and convenience.
