Capture The Holiday Vibe Of Old
Step back in time to the 1950s, when houses had good bones and were built to last. This beautiful board and batten renovated bach is a prime example of just that. Stunning views of the lake which never lose their magical appeal can be enjoyed from the elevated section in the sought after Waipahihi/Botanical Gardens area.
At the heart of this four bedroom home is a well-equipped kitchen with a huge gas/oven cooktop. The generous island bench creates a perfect hub for entertaining in the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas. This beautiful home has been tastefully styled throughout so that the holiday feeling is kept all year round.
French doors open out to a sheltered north-facing patio from the spacious master bedroom. Underneath the house is a bunk-room with external access which is perfect for housing extra guests over holiday periods. There is single external garaging with a concrete slab floor.
Of particular interest is the sizeable 2011 sq m corner section. With two entrance ways, one off Arrowsmith Road and one off Shepherd Road, there is the potential to subdivide - a highly appealing prospect for property developers.
Any residential purchaser looking for a true kiwi bach in which to capture the relaxed holiday vibe of old should look no further. Contact Penny or Sacha without delay.

1 - The Lake
Naturally, Lake Taupo is all about the lake, and the first thing you can do in Taupo is to explore the lake in your own way. Swimming comes to mind, with associated water sports, snorkelling, jet skiing, water skiing to name some. These will have a range of price tags, so it depends upon your budget which you partake. And the weather will have a bit effect as well- you won't really want to be swimming in these waters in the depths of Winter! So, if the water gets too cold, you can walk around the Lake (or some of the way) or take to boating on it.
2 - The Town
Taupo is a pleasantly set out town, and there are some delightful places to be discovered wandering around the Domain where the lake meets the town. Taupo has a Community Art collection of artwork sculptures that creep into the town, and some delightful and thought-provoking sculptures can be located in easy walking distance. You may even notice that the storm-water drains have a trout engraved upon them. Throughout Taupo, you will discover an eye-catching figure or shape that charms and appeals.
3 - The River
The Spa Park is a park that has surprises for the uninitiated. Unless you are very fit, drive to the furthest parking area. Then wander down the track and you will see the Waikato meandering ahead of you. Carry on down the hill and discover the lovely warm waters of the Otumuheke Stream. If you choose to follow the stream you will find more pools to bathe in, some really hot ones! No changing facilities near the swimming hole, so be prepared.
4. The Geothermal Activity
Having seen the hot water in the Spa Park, you may be interested in seeing more. A modestly priced area of activity is nearby at the Craters of The Moon. Wander the walkway to see mud craters, and pools, and steam vents. The Wairakei Natural Thermal Valley is also nearby and offers a range of similar activities with the excitement of the geothermal power plant right next door. A petting zoo and native birds add to the attraction of this camping grounds.
5 - The Gardens
The Waipahihi Botanical Gardens are on the hillside overlooking Taupo and with dynamic views of the Lake and the mountains beyond. The natural native bush has been beautifully interplanted with some 2000 rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. There is a circuitous drive and a number of walks into areas of beauty and places with views.
