True Blue - Taupo Holiday Home

A refreshing take on a classic - Welcome to True Blue with Spa.

As full of character as it is style and comfort, True Blue's pops of colour throughout capture the essence of this wonderful lakeside hotspot.

A fully equipped modern kitchen is ready to help you show off your cooking prowess and serve up some delicious holiday meals. The dining area opens out onto a sheltered patio perfect for summer alfresco meals fresh off the grill! After dinner, enjoy a soak in the lovely spa pool.

Summer or winter, True Blue has you covered with perfect temperatures year-round with both air-conditioning and a heat pump available as well as Netflix.

A 10-minute walk will have you down at the edge of the lake or enjoying the Waipahihi Botanical Reserve. Feel like a soak in the De Bretts Thermal Springs? You'll love being just 2-minutes away. The centre of Taupo has an array of dining options and local shops as is just a short drive away. Spend your days hiking and cycling around the lake or visiting the rapids at Huka Falls.

Somewhere special to unwind - True Blue is ready and waiting!
Please note there are security cameras at this property, placed in the outdoor areas. Rest assured that our guests privacy is of paramount importance and the owner of the property will ensure it is preserved by switching the cameras off during a booking.

A cute cozy stay

This little house ticked all the boxes for us un terms of affordability, comfort and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The spa pool was a hit! The only downside was that the cleaners had arrived to clean 40 minutes after we had checked in. We realize this isnt the property owners fault butthneedchwehadhadwhictimecleets

Adequate

The house is nice enough but it doesn't really have what you need for an easy stay. There was almost no toilet peper, not enough dish wash tablets, no dish cloth, no hairdryer. The single bed has a very hard mattress that you can feel all the springs on. We had to sleep with a duvet under the bottom sheet. Unfortunately during our stay several lightbulbs blew and when we called to have them replaced we were told an electrician was needed and couldn't come till after our stay. This meant no lights in one of the bedrooms at all.

Clean, neat and funky!

Fantastic! Very clean. Had everything we needed. Very close to Crown Park, De Bretts and a short drive into town. We would definitely stay here again. 😊 Thank you so much!
