A smart, welcoming Wharewaka home just five minutes from Lake Taupo, with space for the whole crew — and the boat. Wharewaka sits quietly on the southern edge of Taupo, close enough to everything — lake, town, and the 3 Mile Boat Ramp — but tucked into a calm neighbourhood that makes it easy to switch off. Kopakopa Rest is a lovely, freshly presented home on a well-kept section, with room to park a boat, jet ski or trailer and a short drive to all the best of what Taupo has to offer. Inside, the home is warm, well-appointed, and thoughtfully prepared — a comfortable base for families, couples travelling together, or a group of mates looking for a solid Taupo stay. A heat pump keeps the lounge cosy year-round, and the kitchen comes well equipped including a DeLonghi Nespresso coffee pod machine. Out back, a private side lawn with a BBQ, outdoor table and chairs, and a shade umbrella makes it easy to enjoy a relaxed evening outside.Whether you're planning a morning on the lake, a round of golf, or a lazy afternoon with a coffee and the outdoors, the layout suits it all. Kokomea Shopping Centre and Woolworths are just around the corner for your provisions, and within five minutes you'll find the lake, the airport, and Dropzone — home to a restaurant, mini golf, a trampoline park, bowling, an arcade, and an ice cream shop.It's a great spot for families, and handy for guests arriving by air too. Kopakopa Rest sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, with a separate laundry in the garage and storage space for bikes and gear. Tidy, quiet, and well located — this is a Taupo stay that just works.
