Top neighborhoods in Taupō

View at the lake Taupo in the North Island in New Zealand

Taupō Central

Taupō Central serves up lakefront adventures right on New Zealand's largest lake with thermal hot springs for soaking tired muscles. The marina bustles with sailing activity while the Great Lake Walkway offers stunning water views for walkers and cyclists. You'll find Māori cultural experiences, trout fishing spots, and plenty of outdoor adventure shops to gear up for local excursions. Lakeside restaurants range from casual fish and chips to upscale dining with local specialties. Accommodations include everything from budget-friendly backpacker hostels to premium thermal spa resorts with hot tubs. The compact town center is easily walkable, with regular bus services connecting to major attractions like the thundering Huka Falls nearby.

Jetty on Acacia Bay, North Island New Zealand

Acacia Bay

Acacia Bay delivers Lake Taupo's best views without the tourist hustle. Sandy beaches invite lazy days of swimming and kayaking, while scenic walking tracks wind along the shoreline. Pack a picnic to catch those jaw-dropping sunsets painting the western sky, or try your luck fishing for lake trout in crystal-clear waters. Casual lakeside cafes serve fresh fish and ice cream, but most close early. Most visitors stay in holiday homes and baches with kitchens instead of hotels. A car is essential for exploring since public transport is limited, though walking paths connect the main lakefront areas.

Looking out across Lake Taupo at the Central North Island volcanoes, Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Tongariro. The town of Taupo is very nice, with plenty of cheap hostels, around $25-35 per night

Take a short drive to enjoy Taupo Hot Springs, or explore nearby Waipahihi Botanical Gardens and the famous Maori Carvings. Self-catering holiday homes and luxury B&Bs dominate the accommodation scene, most featuring those million-dollar lake views. You'll need a rental car to get around, as public transit is limited. The neighborhood's tranquility is its main attraction, with central Taupo's restaurants and shops just a 10-minute drive away.

Waipahihi

Waipahihi serves up the perfect lakeside escape with sandy beaches and mountain views just 15 minutes from downtown Taupō. The botanical gardens invite you to wander among native ferns and colorful blooms while tui birds provide the soundtrack. Lakefront reserves offer ideal picnic spots and swimming areas for cooling off after exploring the quiet residential streets. Holiday homes and boutique B&Bs make up most accommodation options, many with self-catering facilities and helpful local hosts. While dining options are limited within the neighborhood, a short drive to Taupō provides plenty of restaurants. Renting a car is your best bet for getting around this peaceful retreat where nature takes center stage.

Holiday homes and B&Bs dominate the accommodation scene, offering authentic New Zealand living experiences with full kitchens and gardens.

Learn more about Taupō

Volcanic energy bubbles beneath the surface in this lakeside playground. Dip into Spa Thermal Park's steaming waters where hot springs meet the cool Waikato River. At Huka Falls, the mighty river narrows dramatically, forcing turquoise water through a volcanic gorge with thunderous power. Lake Taupō's crystal waters invite fishing for trophy trout or cruising to view ancient Māori rock carvings. Adrenaline seekers can skydive above the massive caldera or bungy jump over the river. For a gentler pace, explore the lakefront promenade with its cafés and ice cream shops. The surrounding volcanic plateau offers hiking trails through otherworldly landscapes, while nearby Tongariro National Park tempts with its famous Alpine Crossing.
