Sunny, peaceful, cute, cottage only 10 mins to Taupo CBD, Kinloch/Lakefront

Sunny, self contained cute cottage, easy to find. Set in beautiful garden surroundings only a short 10 minute drive from either Taupo township or Kinloch village/lakefront or the National Equestrian Centre, so we are very central.
Kinloch has amazing mountain bike tracks and the famous WK2 track plus stunning walks.
A handy thing to note is that Rotorua, with all the amazing geothermal activities is only a short drive away (just under 1hour from the cottage), so why not stay a little longer and unpack and base yourselves in our lovely peaceful surroundings and take a day trip to Rotorua as alot of our guests do when they stay with us. Saves unpacking twice :)
The dining/kitchen area contains a small cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, TV and DVD. The bedroom contains a comfy double bed and a 3/4 set of bunks is located in another common area. Stunning country views can be enjoyed from the bedroom and sunny deck while enjoying a wine or beer.
Our friendly, playful cat Bella is always loved by guests and children alike.
A sunny, peaceful, private rural retreat with plenty of room for safe parking of boats etc.
Some of the adventure activities awaiting holiday makers in the Taupo area are skydiving, bungy jumping, white water rafting, mountain bike riding etc (brochures available).
With so many local attractions on offer only a short drive nearby e.g. Huka Falls, jet boating, Prawn Park, Kinloch beach, Thermal pools, Craters of the moon geothermal valley, fantastic mountain biking/bush walking tracks or day trips to the ski fields etc it is easy to find plenty to do to enjoy this beautiful unique area.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Lovely environment
I was in Taupo for an intensive course so the cottage was a quiet place to study at the end of the day and enjoy the evening sun on the wee deck. Margaret is a lovely host and she made sure everything was just right for me.

Lovely little cottage
We stayed in the cottage for a weekend. The contact with the owner was very pleasant. The cottage is on the small side, but it was fine for us. Beautiful view and close to all the highlights of Taupo

Everything we needed
Good location for us as midway between biking in Taupo and Great Lake Trails. Nice and quiet and felt really safe. Probably a bit smaller than we expected and is looking a little dated now but had everything we needed. The covered deck space was excellent for storing our golf and bike gear. Lovely hosts with great communication. Recommended if you’ll mostly be out & about and have lots of gear to store.

A peaceful getaway
My partner and I really enjoyed our time at the Cottage. It was the perfect size for the two of us and had everything we needed for a couple of nights away. Fantastic and fast communication with our hosts, we would love to come back one day :)
