Our boutique lodge offers luxury bed and breakfast accommodation set amidst a private 3 acre garden one mile from the Lake Taupo township in the Central Plateau of New Zealand (NZ).
The Lodge setting: Taupo Garden Lodge is a small, elegant, fishing Inn, beside the mountain-fed Waikato River, only 2k from town, surrounded by a beautiful three-acre garden. The accommodation is private, generous and has very comfortable beds, with Persian rugs and oil paintings in a restorative atmosphere.
The hosts, William and Suzanne Hindmarsh planted this garden over a period of the 41 year ownership of their property Awahuri (where the river bends). Some of the trees are more than 60 feet high now, with
masses of birds, Rhododendrons, Camellias and perennials in stunning profusion around ponds and a waterfall - all creating a tranquility which literally everybody mentions, friends and visitors.
While the Lodge is very close to Lake Taupo town centre, it's endowed with complete privacy, with the major upriver view 65 miles to the South to the 7-9,000 foot mountains.
The accommodation has a warm character and is simply furnished with specially-designed tastful wooden furniture. Both suites have exclusive bathrooms See The Rooms.
The Lodge theme -- New Zealand "country", with cream walls, original paintings, NZ 'rimu' wood trim and panelling, dark adzed Oregon beams, a superb collection of hand knotted oriental carpets over cork floors, together with Danemann baby grand piano. A massive fireplace is used every night in cold weather. A sunroom off the dining room is just gorgeous with an intimate view of one pond and waterfall.
are fourth-generation New Zealanders, caring for you in their happy and thoughtful way -- knowledgeable about the nation, its people and in particular the local places of beauty and activity. They have lived at Awahuri since 1964 and believe your stay with them will be memorable in this travellers' haven. They share it with Bart, their 5 year old black Labrador dog!
We are active members of Heritage and Character Inns of New Zealand,
a group of luxurious, boutique inns for travellers', spread throughout the country.
Taupo Garden Lodge is safe, totally private and secure, within its three acre fenced garden. A superb wrought iron, remotely controlled gate is closed at night for extra protection.
