I'm hesitant to share this gem but they deserve it! Amazing views, super tranquil, tidy accomm with a natural design to suite the surrounding native vegitation and super helpful hosts.
We had a wonderful stay here. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable, with a bed that made it easy to get a proper night's sleep. The views were the real highlight
We loved our stay at this serene lakeside property. It offers a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere while still being just a ten-minute drive from everything you need. The hosts were incredibly lovely and super responsive to all our needs. Highly recommend!
Beautiful views of the lake, very serene and quiet. Pool not open in winter season. Native bird life in bush. Good driving distance to Turangi 15mins. Hot pools just down the road in town before Turangi.
We had a lovely stay at Pukawa Village. Our apartment, 15A, overlooked a beautiful garden and the stunning Lake Taupō, making every morning and evening feel incredibly special. The surroundings were so serene and peaceful , truly the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Honestly, the view and atmosphere reminded us of Lake Como in Italy, yet we were right here in beautiful New Zealand. It felt like a hidden gem.
The owners are such lovely people , very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The property is very well maintained, and you can really see the care they put into keeping everything in excellent condition.
All the amenities were perfect and thoughtfully provided, making our stay very comfortable. The location is definitely a 10/10 , quiet, scenic, and absolutely breathtaking.
Highly recommend staying here, and we would love to come back again!

We loved our stay, the view is everything you could hope for. A morning coffee with the sunrises was so beautiful.
Handy having a washing machine and dryer.
Nearby restaurant was so lovely.
Would recommend and I hope we can return in the near future.
Family of 4 (kids 4 and 2).
Room had plenty of blankets, and heating options.
The hosts were so welcoming and the property and views were outstanding. Highly recommended for a family - generous living area and full kitchen. Will be back!
Beautiful, peaceful setting in comfortable accommodation overlooking the lake. On premises restuarant was also very good although menu was a bit limited.
Nice and Quiet, Great veiws on a clear winters morning. Stay was exactly what I expected. Clean, warm and reasonably priced. Hosts were great to deal with. Check in reminded me of the old days but overall it was fine.
Our family stayed here over the weekend in a two-bedroom unit, and we had a wonderful experience.
The unit was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight, though, was the breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Taupō. Waking up to the sunrise over the lake in the morning was a truly memorable experience.
The location is also fantastic. It’s close to the Tongariro Trout Centre, which is well worth a visit, and the scenic drive to and around the area is incredible.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would happily return, and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Taupō region.
