The Point Villas Taupo

"Breathtaking & uniquely New Zealand."

Located on the northern shores of New Zealand’s spectacular Lake Taupo, within the exclusive Whakamoenga Point Estate, The Point Villas offer couples, families and friends a luxurious haven from which to discover the delights of this astounding natural wonderland.

The Point Villas’ exterior architecture has been cleverly designed to blend with the natural surroundings, whilst each villa’s spacious 1,900 square feet interiors offer guests maximum enjoyment of the breathtaking forest and lake scenery.

The Point’s two villas both command breathtaking views of native forest and the beautiful blue-green waters of Lake Taupo. Combining award-winning architecture and elegant interior design, the villas are fully self-contained yet with all the services you would expect from a five star hotel just a phone call away.

Each villa is elegantly furnished with oak furniture, Seagrass and leather lounge suites and original local artwork, the spacious open living and dining areas lead onto large private decks and terraces. There are state-of-the-art audio-visual entertainment systems, an open fireplace for winter warmth with barbecue and outdoor furniture to enjoy the warmer weather.
