Acacia Bay is set up for relaxation with this huge property recently being renovated. We offer everything you need for your dream escape. Uninterrupted lake and Taupo views. This holiday home has been well thought out. It is modern, stylish and fresh. You will feel invigorated after your stay.
Access is with a lock box, however I personally am on call for anything additional you may want to make the most of paradise here in Taupo! The spa, BBQ and fire pit are there to be used. Plenty of parking on and off the road.
Taupo aside, Rotorua is only one hours drive and Hawkes Bay within 1.5 hours drive for a day of sightseeing and for the active traveller the Ski field and Tongariro crossing is an 1.5 hours drive. The Glow worm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from.
