Acacia Bay Lodge, a private manor, is located on the gentle slope of the lakefront hill in Acacia Bay. The distant mountains on the other side of the lake serve as a stunning backdrop, offering views of a corner of the town and the expansive lake! The garden has been meticulously maintained for nearly 40 years, with each season bringing a unique charm. Flowers, trees, birds, and insects all enhance one another’s beauty, creating a vibrant and harmonious environment. This is a home with stories, offering a space where both body and mind can breathe freely. The manor is ideal for couples, groups of friends, and especially families. It boasts over 3,400 square meters of private garden, exclusive guest rooms, an open-view dining room and kitchen, and expansive viewing terraces. The garden features more than 20 types of fruit trees and dozens of flowers and plants. Occasionally, you may encounter hens, ducks, turkeys, and sheep in the garden. We kindly ask you to treat these lovely creatures with care. We offer private bedrooms and bathrooms for guests, who also have access to the living room, dining room, and kitchen. From the bedrooms, you can enjoy stunning views of the garden, Lake Taupo, and the surrounding mountains. The large kitchen, with its beautiful scenery, is equipped with a fridge, freezer, gas stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster, and various cookware, making it spacious enough for up to five people to cook together. This grand and beautiful house features a large terrace where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal outdoors. It’s also perfect for hosting a BBQ with family or friends. On summer nights, you can relax on the terrace, counting the stars and gazing at the moon while soaking in the fresh air. Take a leisurely walk around the garden and soak in the wonderful views, or, if you wish, feed the chickens and ducks with your children.
