About this property

Rainbow Family Retreat - Two dwellings

23 Rainbow Drive is two dwellings on the one private secure site only a 100m from the lake edge via an access way off nearby Oregan Drive.

The 4 bedroom rear house is an entertainers dream with open plan living and great indoor/outdoor flow onto a large rear private and sun-filled deck. The house is well insulated and toasty warm with heat pump and panel wall heaters throughout the house. A large garage area also provides a rumpus room for the kids on wet or cold days and when they need to burn some energy! (This property sleeps 4 Adults and 4 Children. Any additional adults and children can utilise the seperate 2bdm cottage for the additional adult/children charge).

The 2 bedroom cottage on the front of the property is a cute and cozy separate home that provides options for additional family or friends that may be invited to stay - Great for family reunions or sporting groups / events.

Rainbow Point has the nearby Dairy for all your essentials and kid treats, along with the fantastic fish and chip shop for takeaway night. The Ploughmans restaurant will cater for your night out and all of these are just a short walk away.
Being so close to the lake and Lions walkway may mean that a walk to town along the lake front becomes a regular venture for your morning coffee.

Plenty of off street parking for vehicles or boats and secured behind gates for that peace of mind.
Special conditions:
• Use of both houses will incur additional adult charges over standard 4 adult allowance for the 4bdm house as per pricing schedule.
• Use of the separate 2bdm cottage is available for the additional adult/children charge as listed.
• Deck not suitable for very small children

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$95.00 per house); Linen (Optional, NZ$25.00 per person);

Good stay
4 of us were in Taupo for the cycling trails. The property was very suitable being spacious. It is open plan with good outdoor flow. The kitchen and bathroom were modern. The large garage was great for locking up our valuable e bikes. The only improvement is the main bathroom lacks a mirror but that’s minor. The property would be ideal for large or multiple family holidays and is well located by the lake and amenities.

Wonderful location and property to spend time with family.
This property was perfect for our needs. The main house is well set up for families with plenty of space and fully fenced for the little runaway Grandchildren. We were able to retreat to the little bach on site to get a break! Beds in the bach werent very comfortable. Overall would stay again for sure.

Oasis in Taupo
Beautiful well-kept property, with an amazing proactive host that was available for any questions and very responsive. I would highly recommend this property if you have a large group as it will accommodate easily without feeling cramped. The second house was a bonus. Thank you, Jono, for your exceptional service and property. We will be back.
