    A good location as a base to visit Huka Falls & white water rafting in Turangi. We wanted a house to have some space & do some washing halfway through a 2 week trip. The owners provided easy to follow instructions for key pick up. The lounge area...

The Retreat Holday home Taupo is well set up with everything you will need to enjoy your stay. So centrally located you can walk to all Taupo has to offer. We would be here all day listing Taupo's many attractions and activites but stayng at The Retreat Taupo will give you a great base to stay to enjoy these events. It is under 1 1/2 hours to Mt Ruapehu, 30 minutes to Turangi 1 hour to Rotorua and 3 hours from Auckland. Off street parking. Large double garage with internal access to store your equipment. and vehicles. The home includes a heat pump with the DVS system the house will be warm in know time. There is a heater in the down stairs bedroom which will warm that up when it is cold. The master bedroom has an ensuite. We are pleased to offer free WiFi. Please read our information book which we leave on the lounge table. This gives clear instructions and information on the operation of the free view tv, DVD, heat pump, WiFi etc. The house is suitable for families and mature adults only CONTACT WILL BE MADE THROUGH BOOKING.COM WITH ARRIVAL INFORMATION ONCE BOOKING MADE
We have been running holiday homes in NZ for quite some time and we strive to offer a high standard. The say there is something going on in Taupo nearly ever weekend of the year. Taupo has become a great place to base yourself in the winter and they now run ski shuttle buses to Mt Ruapehu There is an international golf course, car racing track, mountain biking, fishing, hiking, hot pools and of course the beautiful lake the list just goes on.
The Retreat Taupo is in one of Taupo's more desirable areas and just a 5 minute walk into town. There are local taxi companys which will get you around
