About this property

Puketapu - Kuratau Holiday Home

  • Peacefully tucked away amongst the trees, with fabulous views over the glistening water and two garden paths leading to the river and lake’s edge, this lakefront holiday home is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Welcome to Puketapu!

    Thoughtfully decorated and designed with comfort in mind, you will feel welcomed and relaxed the moment you arrive.

    Spread across two levels, Puketapu offers plenty of space for family and friends to come together in the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area upstairs.

    This inviting space is the heart of the home, a place to simply unwind or plan the day's adventures.

    The private gated access to the Kuratau River or lake’s edge is perfectly positioned for fly fishing, or to simply relax and take in the tranquil surroundings. Explore the scenic walking and biking tracks, and during the cooler months, the Whakapapa Ski Area is just a 45-minute drive away, making this bach an ideal base for year-round adventures.

    Surrounded by nature, Puketapu is the perfect setting to create lasting memories all year round.
    As there is an unfenced access to the river and lake via the garden, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

Lovely house and location

Loved the property, we had loads of space. View and surroundings ātaatua! Details to contact the property manager were out of date which caused a bit of panic when checking out as the instructions re what to do were unclear. The property could have been a bit cleaner dust wise. All in all loved the place and encourage the owners to keep it maintained and cleaned well.
