Lake Taupo Lodge for sale
Lake Taupo Lodge
Mapara Road, Acacia Bay, NZ
An architecturally distinctive Lake Taupō lodge with six guest suites, landscaped grounds, and an established hospitality operation.
Oversized cedar rafters, dark weatherboards, riverstone, and schist give Lake Taupō Lodge an architectural identity rooted in its landscape. Designed by Denniston Hodgson Turner Architects with an influence from Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture, the building is richly finished in rimu, cedar, and other timbers. Its design received a regional award from the New Zealand Institute of Architects.
Operating as a boutique lodge since the 1980s, the property has six guest suites, a self-contained manager’s area, a professional kitchen, and licensed dining and lounge spaces. Manicured lawns, native planting, ponds, and topiary terraces occupy the approximately 73,819 sqft freehold site. The established booking channels and international guest following form part of the commercial proposition, alongside the building and grounds; operating figures, licences, and inclusions should be confirmed during due diligence.
