Lake Taupo Lodge is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and offers 7 suites. Lake Taupo Lodge offers exclusive luxury boutique hotel style accommodation situated by Lake Taupo in the Central Plateau of New Zealand.

About 2,000 years ago, Lake Taupo was the scene of a cataclysmic volcanic eruption. From that ancient devastation has arisen a verdant natural wonderland. In the center of New Zealand's North Island is unquestionably one of the finest outdoor recreational areas in the world. Lake Taupo Lodge is situated above the beautiful Acacia Bay on the Western shores of the Lake. It stands amidst mature park like gardens, where native birds such as the Tui and Bellbird abound. The focus is on gracious living and personalised hospitality and cuisine. It's a relaxed atmosphere replete with billiard room, log fire in Winter, a reading gallery, music area and intimate dining when you're not enjoying the attractions of the area.
