Conveniently located in Taupo the hub of the attractions of the Central Plateau. Jacqui & Barry offer you a comfortable, clean and affordable studio unit in a homely atmosphere. You will enjoy warm, helpful service with a smile. The unit is quiet as it is set at the back of the property away from the road. Whether you are here for work, a family event, need a stop-over or just for fun, this is the place to stay.
Jacqui & Barry are the Kiwi owner operators of Barrington House, they are Taupo Locals and have lived here now for more that 25yrs, they have been in the Hospitalty Industry for most of that time.
We are ideally situated close to the lake and the town. Many of our guests enjoy strolling into town for a meal and a few drinks. The property is surrounded by residential houses with mainly elderly occupants. The first block of Heuheu Street is one of the main shopping areas in Taupo.
