Situated in Taupo, 35 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley and 16 km from Great Lake Convention Centre, Hilltop Whakaipo Estate features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a shared lounge and a garden.

All units come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom with a hairdryer and shower. A fridge and kettle are also available.

Peter and Michelle welcomed us in their home so warmly, together with their beautiful Labs, Bear, Meg and Jessie - that we had a hard time leaving the estate on our last day! They are the perfect hosts, thoughtful and easy-going. The view over the rolling hills and lake Taupo is fantastic, especially at sunset, and we enjoyed spending the evenings on the outside bench, playing with the dogs and taking in the view. Breakfast was also amazing, prepared every morning by Michelle with fresh produce. We also had the chance to see the deer up close! We have great memories from our stay at Whakaipo Estate and would definitely go back if we are visiting the region again! Thank you again, Peter and Michelle, for your lovely welcome!

    Private spa with thermal/mineral water was luxury, you fill it yourself so can have the heat you want. (I filled spa a third full in evening for a lovely soak and topped up in morning to heat it up for another soak so not to use too much water) Upstairs room was very private and super quiet and dark for sleeping. Staff were lovely and friendly and helpful. The building is older but quite fine and had everything needed - hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner etc. Super comfy bed and nice bed linens.

    Wow Punawai is an exceptional bed and breakfast with friendly hosts . Very private room with your own guest lounge with amazing lake Taupo views and luxury wallace cotton linen to cocoon you in the extremely comfortable bed . Off street parking and easy Uber ride into town if needed. Home made treats and continental breakfast with yummy Bircher muesli was great to start our day.
