Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighbourhood is in the sought after area of town, well established and a mix of old and new properties. It is just 2km from the town centre and has a small shopping parade close by, along with a very popular pub/restaurant which serves great meals. It is a 5 minute walk downhill to the lake front where there is a paved walk extending some 5 miles, along with a beach and natural thermal hot streams. Taupo is a great centre if you enjoy outdoor activities, cycling is extremely well catered for, as is hiking/tramping. It is a popular tourist centre and has all the amenities you would associate with that.
