Your hosts Meg and Joe Bocker are delighted to run a high Quality Guest House in lovely Taupo. You will enjoy a warm greeting with home baked scones and fresh tea or coffee on arrival. You are also able to help yoursef to tea or coffee at any time, either from the supplies in your own private room, or from the espresso machine in the well stocked kitchen. 

Although we cannot allow you to bring your own pets you can choose to adopt our cat who may choose to befriend you.

Taupo is famous for its trout fishing.  Many visitors each year come to catch trout in the pristine waters either from a boat in the lake or by fly fishing in the rivers which feed the lake.  

Fishing guides and trips are easily arranged and happen all year round. 

Taupo is also now a favourite venue for many other activities including the New Zealand Ironman held in March each year and also the famous and very popular Round the Lake Cycle Challenge. 

Starting in 2007 Taupo will be the home for the A1GP race.

2 Excellent golf courses are to be found in the area as well as a fairly good 9 hole course. 

Skydiving and Bungee jumping are also very popular in Taupo for the more adventurous.

Hot pools and swimming are also very popular. 

There are many very special attractions around Taupo.  Many of these are within 10 mins. by car, some are only accessible by boat and others require a slightly longer drive.  Your hosts will be only too happy to advise you or help you find your way round.
