The Umpires Retreat - Quiet home in Acacia Bay

This spacious home is conveniently located in a quiet cul de sac just a short walk to the Lake, local shops and restaurant. The Umpires Retreat provides a perfect base to explore the region with Taupo town just 5km journey.

The lounge, kitchen and dining area are an open plan with a log fire for cosy winter stays. The lounge opens out via french doors onto a large covered courtyard with outdoor furniture and BBQ, perfect for those summer days and nights when you just want to kick back and relax.

There is a well-fenced lawn at the rear, enough room for the kids to play safely. The garage is available to store the bikes but not vehicles, you can park a boat or vehicle on the drive in front of the garage.
