Villa in Taupo

The Point Estate

Nothing interrupts the Lake Taupo views from these two modern homes except your own private pools. The villas may be the only civilization in 58 acres of bushland, but sun-splashed terraces, and airy rooms with glass walls and vaulted ceilings mean they’re quite civilized indeed. Discover the area by boat, on a cycle on the Great Lake Trail, or on a fishing trip in search of local trout. Each villa has its own outdoor living areas with a swimming pool, sitting and dining furniture, and a barbecue. In the evenings, you can flip on the gas fireplace and set the mood with the sound system, or stay in touch with the outside world via Wi-Fi. An espresso machine will fuel your outdoor adventures, and laundry facilities will help you start each activity with fresh gear. Fold-away glass walls and vaulted ceilings give you the luxury of enjoying the glorious New Zealand scenery from the comfort of the wicker sofas in the villas’ living rooms. Fry up locally caught trout in the fully equipped kitchens and reconnect with friends and family around the dining tables. This vacation rental includes one 2-bedroom house and one 3-bedroom house. All 5 bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and several have lake views. While they can accommodate up to 10 guests, the smaller villa could also be a retreat for in-laws wanting a quieter holiday or a couple wanting honeymoon-style privacy. The Point Estate is a 1-minute drive from the Taupo Maori Carving, which towers above the waters of the lake. It’s also a short drive from the roaring blue waters of Huka Falls, where the lake drains out of its caldera, and the shops and restaurants in the town of Taupo. Thirsty travelers can also plan to visit the craft breweries and wineries outside of downtown. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Home in Kinloch

A Sky Full of Stars at Kinloch, Lake Taupo, NZ

Rangy mountains loom in the distance and rolling hills nestle this sleek architectural masterpiece on New Zealand’s North Island. Designed by Brendon Gordon Architecture and rendered in natural timber and stone, this streamlined villa seems like both part of the landscape and a respite from it. While it feels secluded, it’s only a 4-minute drive to a beach, café, and more in the town of Kinloch. Stay a while on a sunny terrace with alfresco dining for 8 and a barbecue, or set off on the provided bicycles and explore the area. If you’ve been out on the trails or the golf course all day, pour a glass from the wine fridge and settle in for the evening by a smart TV with satellite and streaming capabilities, a Sonos sound system, and Wi-Fi. A great room lined in wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling glass creates the illusion of being immersed in the landscape, and sliding panels give you the luxury of opening the space to the outdoors. Cozy up on the pair of sofas in the sitting area, gather around a dining table for 8, or catch up with friends and family while perched at the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen. Each of the 4 bedrooms at this vacation rental has a king bed, private ensuite bathroom, and direct access to a terrace. Three of the bedrooms have golf-course views; the fourth looks out over the garden. A holiday at this villa is a honeymoon from the everyday—a chance to appreciate some of the country’s most dramatic scenery. Start in Kinloch, a 4-minute drive away, where you can spend a day on the beach or set off on mountain-biking trails around Lake Taupo. On the lake itself, you can try out fly fishing or book a sightseeing boat cruise. If you’re eager to tee off, ask about playing on the neighboring Kinloch Club Golf Course.

Kinloch 2 Bedroom Villa

Escape to the ultimate golfing hideaway in New Zealand’s unspoiled interior. Deftly incorporated into the rambling Kinloch estate golf course – designed by legend Jack Nicklaus – this listing provides direct access to this stunning lakeside course.

From Kinloch, day-trip options range in every direction. Visit the vibrant nearby town of Taupo and enjoy the finest and freshest NZ cuisine at excellent local restaurants. Follow the Waikato river north, and wander amongst the steaming clouds of the Craters of the Moon geothermal walkways.

Taupo's Edge

Listen to the crackling of a wood burning fire as you gaze overtop the lush canopy leading down to Lake Taupo at this nature-loving villa in New Zealand. Sunbathe in the courtyard, kick back in a bean bag chair, and cool off in the alfresco shower. When you’re ready to explore, start by following a nearby bush track that winds through the forest and leads down to the lake. Flow from inside to out as freely as the cool cross-breeze thanks to wall-length openings on nearly every perimeter wall. Under a vaulted-ceiling, the open concept main room is ready to host unforgettable family dinners, late nights with friends, and lazy afternoons. Sip cocktails and watch the sailboats from the balcony while the kids watch a movie in the Smart TV lounge or play soccer on the courtyard’s lawn. Stop by one of the local markets in Taupo and pick up some freshly caught lake fish for a barbeque. Dine at the alfresco set, letting the forest and lake views set the perfect tone. There are 3 parking spaces, a garage, and security cameras, so invite some new friends. When it’s late, move the party inside and let your inner mixologist get creative at the bar. Lake Taupo, Huka Falls, and Mount Tauhara are just a few of the natural wonders nearby, so bring your hiking boots. If there’s an angler in the group, boat rentals and fishing charters are available from Lakefun Taupo. While you’re out on the water, swing by Taupo Maori Carvings, a historic rockface in Acacia Bay. Then, head 11 kilometers into Taupo for a night on the town. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

The Point Villa Ngahere

Nothing but bushland surrounds this wonderfully private villa on the shores of Lake Taupo. Watch the sun move across the mountains and water from the shade of the pergola on the terrace or beneath the vaulted ceiling of the open-concept great room. Hike to the footbridge over the roaring Huka Falls, cycle the nearby Great Lake Trail, or fish for trout—the only way to taste this local specialty. You’ll have to decide whether the views of Mine Bay are best from the swimming pool, hot tub, or the outdoor lounging and dining areas. If you’re lucky enough to have caught a local trout, try preparing it on the barbecue (or call a restaurant in Taupo to do the job). After a day out on the lake or in the mountains, the smart TV, Wi-Fi, and gas fireplace are ready to help you unwind. Fold-away glass walls make the great room feel like an extension of the sunny terrace. Here, you can stretch out on a wicker sofa, whip up something delicious in the fully equipped kitchen, or relive the day’s adventures with friends and family around a dining table for 8, all under a vaulted ceiling that makes the space bright and airy. Each of the 3 bedrooms at this luxury vacation rental has a king bed and en-suite bathroom; 2 of them have lake views and one opens directly to the terrace with the hot tub, for couples who might want to relive their honeymoon. The Point Villa Ngahere offers a quintessential New Zealand holiday, with gorgeous scenery, outdoor adventure and great food all close at hand. It’s a 1-minute drive to the Taupo Maori Carving, which can also be seen from the water on a kayak tour, and a short drive to both the brilliant blue waters of Huka Falls and the town of Taupo.

Villa in Taupo

The Point Villa Tatamoana

A pergola-topped deck and glassed-in great room command lake and mountain views from this modern retreat on 58 private acres at the heart of New Zealand’s North Island. Stretch out in a sun-dappled lap pool or soak in bathtubs hidden behind fern fronds. Or take advantage of the short drive to outdoor activities around Taupo and hike forested trails, cycle around the lake, and fish for local trout. Look down on Lake Taupo’s Mine Bay from outdoor living areas with a swimming pool, lounging and dining areas, and a barbecue, then finish the day in front of the indoor gas fireplace, sound system, and Wi-Fi. An espresso machine will fuel all your holiday adventures, and laundry facilities will help you start with fresh gear. Fold back the glass walls on three sides of the great room to enjoy the luxury of one seamless indoor-outdoor living area. Wicker sofas and farmhouse-style ladderback chairs lend a rustic feel to the living and dining areas, while a vaulted ceiling gives the fully equipped kitchen a bright, airy appeal. The two private bedrooms at this vacation rental are set on either side of the great room. Each one has a king bed, en-suite bathroom with a honeymoon-suite-worthy glassed-in tub, and access to a shared terrace; the master also has lake views. The Point Villa Tatamoana is a 1-minute drive from the massive Taupo Maori carving, which towers over Mine Bay, and a short drive from Huka Falls, where Lake Taupo spills over in a rush of blue water. There are plenty of hiking and cycling routes in the area, or you can drive to downtown Taupo for a family dinner or a tasting at a local winery with friends. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.
