Hot Deal
Centrally located on State Highway 1, Lake Taupo is the ideal place for a vacation or to explore the many scenic attractions of the Central Plateau. In an area stretching from Orakei Korako in the north, to Tongariro National Park in the south, there is stunning scenery and a host of holiday options for you to enjoy. You'll find snow-capped mountains, a freshwater lake the size of Singapore, pristine native bush, steaming thermal areas, not to mention one of the world's only Dual World Heritage areas. Walk the shores of New Zealand's largest lake, take a scenic cruise, go for bushwalk, catch a trout, enjoy a round of golf or explore one of the scenic mountain bike trails. If you want a spot of action, try the thrill of a bungy jump, tandem skydive or highspeed jetboat ride, or head into the hills on a quad bike adventure. There is rafting and kayaking on the region's rivers, or travel across the lake to view the Maori rock carvings. At the end of the day, enjoy a relaxing soak in a thermal hot pool before dining at one of the region's many restaurants and alfresco cafes. Whether it's a quick break away or an extended family vacation, you'll find plenty of fresh holiday ideas here
