"Te Hokinga" - Whareroa Classic Kiwi Bach Escape
Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the peaceful setting of Whareroa Village with our classic Kiwi bach. Want a 5-Star hotel? This place is not for you, but if you want to get away from the city and enjoy some time with family and friends in a cosy, comfortable bach then you will be right at home here. The cups don't match, but that cup of tea will still taste just as good, especially enjoyed out on the patio in the morning admiring the stunning lake views.
Situated 33km west of Turangi on the southwestern edge of Lake Taupo. The magic of Whareroa is its relative isolation, great Lake views and Village style atmosphere.
Enjoy long sandy beaches, excellent boat launching, ski lane, and fabulous fishing. For those who prefer fly fishing, there is the famous Whareroa stream mouth, or Lake Kuratau only minutes away.
Taupo is just an hour away via a beautiful scenic lakeside road.
In the winter months, the Whakapapa ski fields are only 50 minutes away. Enjoy a full day on the slopes and then stop in at the Tokaanu hot pools on the way home for a relaxing soak.
Our fully-furnished Kiwi bach offers guests stunning lake views and all the amenities of home with full kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
Parents, there is a porta cot and highchair available for the wee ones, as well as games and movies to keep them entertained during wet weather.
For the outdoors, we invite you to make use of the inflatables, lifejackets and kayak on site.
Take a short stroll the lake, pack a picnic and enjoy a full day in the sun.
Our home is your home - Enjoy.
Please note:
Whareroa Village charm comes from its remoteness, but this does mean that the nearest store is 20 minutes away. Turangi is the closest town, a 30-minute drive so it's important to stock up before heading out.
Guests are expected to leave the house clean and tidy.
Linen provided.
