WHAT TO DO, WHEN STAYING WITH US?
Go and explore the surroundings!
🗻Did you know that Mt Ruapehu is about 55 minutes’ drive south of the park for snow skiing in the winter season.
🚶If you want to just hang around the park, you are most welcome to walk throughout the holiday park grounds and along the lake front, which is very picturesque, but please do not go onto sites where other guests are staying.
🌿There is a walking track from Motutere Bay over the ridge to Waipihi, with unsurpassed views of the lake. The track starts about 100 metres past the northern end of the park along State Highway 1 on the right-hand side of the road (you will see the Ministry of Works area where there is usually gravel). The walk takes approximately 30 minutes each way, is quite steep at the beginning but is otherwise a fairly easy walk. At the Waipihi end you can cross over State Highway 1 and enjoy the beach at the rest area.
More information for activities in the region can be found at reception, our staff will be pleased to help you. <3

"Like Taupō in summer? You’ll love it in winter!"
Malcolm Flowers Insurances Taupō Winter Festival 2023
The majority of festival activities are located in and around the Tongariro North Domain and Great Lake Centre – the hub of Taupō.
The festival is brought to you by The One Taupō Trust. Money raised through the festival goes back to families in the region who are under financial hardship due to having children that require specialist medical care.
