Lakefront Villa - Waitahanui Holiday Home

While away the hours gazing out at breathtaking views of stunning Lake Taupo, all from the comfort of your spacious, two-storey Tuscan style holiday home. Welcome to Lakefront Villa!

From the moment you walk in the door here at Lakefront Villa you’ll feel an instant sense of calm and comfort. Your spacious living room features subtle furnishings that make the view the hero of the room, a TV with DVD player for your entertainment, and a gas fireplace for toasty warmth and cosy ambience on a winter getaway.

Wall-to-wall picture windows let in an abundance of natural light, and each feature a classic arch and wooden shutters to tie into the Tuscan style. Open up the glass doors and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow on to your fabulous outdoor entertaining deck, where glass balustrades ensure the lake views are unobstructed.

Prepare delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or spark up the barbecue for a classic Kiwi meal hot off the grill. Dine alfresco on the deck, or head down to the lakefront pergola where a picnic table, bench seating, and an outdoor fireplace await!

You’ll absolutely love the large lawn for your backyard cricket and footy games, having a picnic under the shade of the nikau palm tree, or simply kicking back and basking in the sunshine. And of course, you’ve got the lake right there when you want to take a quick dip to cool off!

Ideal for a couple of families coming together for a lake getaway, Lakeside Villa has five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a range of bedding configurations. Pet owners will also be pleased to know their furry family members are welcome outside here too!

Situated close to the crystal clear, free-flowing Waitahanui River, there are some fantastic opportunities for fly-fishing here at Lakeside Villa. Bring your rod along and give it a go, and you can even bring the boat!

If you need to top up on supplies or you fancy a coffee and a bite to eat, Taupo is just an 11-minute drive from Lakefront Villa. You can also find a great selection of shops and activity providers here too!

Your ultimate lake escape awaits here at Lakefront Villa!

The house was nice and tidy on impression. Though it lacked the 'family' vibe that we were after. Considering that it was the middle of winter, and the weather was bad - And there was no Internet at all! (which is really hard to believe of a house of this calibre) We were unable to do necessary website work that we needed to do - and our kids were unable to complete homework (as we had taken them out of school for this trip). We would have thought that if you weren't supplying internet, you might at least have some family DVD's available? There were 3 very old DVD's under the TV cabinet, none of which were appropriate for a family of kids. Or perhaps even some board games would have been in the cupboards? But there was NOTHING like this available. We also couldn't get the Gas fire going, at all. After numerous attempts. And we had a power disaster and we had no hot water for a while one day, which was fixed by an electrician who had to pop around - something to do with the lights out in the BBQ area being turned on, but the rain had gotten into them. Over all it was a little disappointing, as we had paid a lot of money for this trip, and were let down with a number of things.

Loved the property. Was a good fit for our group and the lake access was fantastic. Would love to see Wifi get put into the property, as we had a couple trying to work while they were there. Only negative was that there was only one rubbish bag sticker for a house that had 10 people over a 4 days stay.

Comfortable
We would have appreciated if the property had been looked at before we arrived. House needed to be aired it smelt must with little to no ventilation in some rooms, there are only windows in the kitchen (some vents were stuck closed). Surfaces could have been wiped, there were dead insects on the windowsills and a dead cockroach in the bathroom sink. The bathroom sink had a green ring around the drain which could have been cleaned. The shower wouldn’t drain and would overfill on to the bathroom floor. A lot of dishes in the kitchen pantry were dirty. The toilet door handle by the main entrance fell off the first time we tried to open it. The wardrobe door handle fell off. There was a 30cm hole in the grass full of yucky stink water near the septic. Overall it lacked maintenance and care. However, bedding and towels were great quality and heating through the house was good it was comfortable enough with lots of space and we enjoyed the pergola/fireplace and the deck with a stunning view.
