About 2000 years ago, Lake Taupo was the scene of a cataclysmic volcanic eruption. From that ancient devastation has risen a verdant natural wonderland. At its heart stands Lake Taupo Lodge, situated above beautiful Acacia Bay amidst a hectare of mature park-like gardens where native tuis and bellbirds abound. This secluded lodge has four grand suites overlooking lake and mountains. The focus is on gracious living and personalized hospitality and cuisine. It is a relaxed atmosphere replete with reading and billiard rooms, log fires and a large barbecue area. From the moment you arrive, there is an aura of peace here. Whether you have come to fish for rainbow trout, to capture a fine red stag on film, to ski, or play golf on the renowned Wairakei course, Lake Taupo Lodge provides everything you could need.
