Mere Cottage is a sweet Taupo retreat beautifully suited to couples or small families looking for an easy, comfortable holiday base. Tucked away on Mere Road, this cosy cottage offers the perfect base for a relaxed Taupo getaway. With the lake, town centre, cafés and local attractions all within easy reach, you'll have everything you need to make the most of your stay while enjoying a peaceful place to unwind. Inside, the cottage is warm, welcoming and comfortably set up for up to four guests. The main bedroom features a king bed, while an additional sleeping area offers two king single beds, making it a practical option for couples or small families. *Please note that the sleeping area with the two king single beds is a walk-through space rather than a separate bedroom. This area also includes the dining space and provides access to both the bathroom and rear deck. For added privacy, doors can be closed to separate this space from the main living room. Step outside onto the deck, fire up the BBQ and enjoy some relaxed outdoor dining. Whether it's a morning coffee in the fresh air or an easy evening meal after a day of exploring, the outdoor space is perfect for making the most of your holiday. Families with children will particularly love the playground directly across the road, providing a fantastic spot for little ones to burn off some energy. With space to play and plenty of family-friendly attractions nearby, it's a great choice for a getaway with the kids. Beautiful Lake Taupo is just a short distance away, offering swimming, boating, kayaking and scenic lakeside walks. Taupo town centre is just a 3-minute drive or an easy 15-minute walk away, where you'll find a fantastic selection of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and local amenities. For those wanting to explore further, Taupo is renowned for its world-class trout fishing, geothermal attractions, thermal pools, walking and cycling trails, and stunning natural scenery.
