Vacation rentals with lake access in Waikato

Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Beautiful place , definitely enjoyed our stay . Catered to everyone’s needs . Communication was amazing even though it was a weekend thanks to Kristin and team . Most definitely recommend booking and looking forward to our next booking cheers

Great place to stay. Clean and tidy, plenty of space, beautiful views.

Fabulous family and pet stay. Great space and location for the whole family. Lovely garden and layout of communal spaces for spending time together. Thanks for having us!

We loved our stay and Gail was a great host. The property was perfect for our large group and we loved the swimming hole down by the river. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting a remote get away.

Warm and comfortable, great communication with Sharon. Suited our needs well. Thanks

Beautiful location and lake home charm!

Tracy's place is beautiful, modern and clean, with photo's being very accurate to reality. Right over the road from a lovely park around the lake. Plenty of roadside parking, and nothing in Hamilton too far away. Check-in via a code was easy. We had a very pleasant stay - thank you!

We loved our stay at Irene's flat. The place was beautiful and peaceful. We felt right at home and enjoyed the views from the balcony. Would love to visit again in the future.

Marki’s place is fantastic. It’s spacious, sparkling clean and incredibly comfortable. We had an amazing stay at Marki’s place and loved looking out over the lake from the patio. Direct lake access was an added bonus! Marki and Chris are the perfect hosts.

A lovely quiet spot in the trees and a short drive to the lake. Everything was thoughtfully done and we loved our stay. A good space for our 1 year old as well.

My husband and I were in town for the NZ Ironman. The location was absolutely perfect. Liz and her partner were very kind and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if visiting Taupo!

We loved our 12 day stay and didn't want to leave. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, heated bathroom floors, adequate kitchen, bifold doors opening into lovely private courtyard gardens and then there is the panoramic view of the lake. Oh and the delux spa!! What a treat. Luxurious accomodation. Value plus! We will be back.

Peaceful wonderful place on the lake . Amazing view. Wonderful Marie and jeff. We tested their home made honey . Lovely time

We had 2 lovely nights at Adele's place & could have easily stayed longer. The Boatshed house had lovely views with a couple of little outdoor decks, the top one affording you views to both sides of Lake Okareka & across to the top of Mt Tarawera. Inside it was well compacted & had all the amenities that we needed, & was warm & cosy, with a fan for the hot nights. The bed was comfy as were the couches & everything was spotlessly clean. Adele was a very responsive host who showed us how to get to a sheltered beach to swim. She also spent time answering our many questions about the local bike trails, which was much appreciated. We will definitely come back to stay again one day. Thank you Adele

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Lovely place close to the lake and a quick drive to Rotorua. The patio was super fun to hang out and we loved the outdoor shower. We liked staying here!

stunning, gorgeous, amazing! My wife and I seldom get time away and The Love Shack was the perfect tonic for our busy lives. The venue is super cute, the view is outstanding and the peace is almost tangible. We loved it and will l absolutely stay again and recommend you do too.... just not on the weekend we want it! The use of kayaks and sups just added to the the overall experience

We were two couples travelling together and had a great time here! We cooked each night and enjoyed the surroundings. Both bedrooms were comfortable the doors out to the deck on our room were great. The doors and windows in the whole place allowed for a lovely breeze. The lounge and dining rooms allowed us to eat and relax comfortably, the deck was also a fabulous spot for the afternoon and morning. A great location for an easy walk to the general store, white water kayak watching and the Okere Falls walk too - loved that!!

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

No frills cottage in a fabulous location across the road from the river (great for refreshing swims) and a few minutes' walk to Lake Taupo. Thoughtfully stocked with books and games and full kitchen. Zara was very welcoming. A tiny bit of noise from trucks on the highway.

We had a lovely time at Juliet’s lake house! Very clean and the location is great. Close to everything. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Gorgeous. Peaceful. Unique. Christine was a delight to liase with. Went the extra mile.
