Part #3 Taupo Take 2

Departing Napier we will travel 2 hours to Taupo – our next stop on the NZ North Island Trip of 2023.

Taupō was created nearly two thousand years ago by a volcanic eruption so big it darkened the skies in Europe and China. The resort town of Taupo sits on the edge of New Zealand’s largest lake, which is well stocked with sizeable trout.

The major entertainment on the road from Taupo to Napier is the fantastic scenery. There’s a bit of everything—rugged hills, beautiful valleys, gentle plains and huge vistas. At Tarawera you can walk to the hot springs, which are above the Waipunga River. You might also want to stop at the Waiarua Falls lookout, to view the twin waterfalls.

Coming from the sleek lines of Art Deco Napier we move to the shabby chic

The house is on the lakefront and a short stroll into town along the waters edge.

Hopefully you are just a bit excited. We are…

Or… You relax in our jacuzzi at the house.
