Classic Kiwi Bach In Coveted Kowhai Road

Some locations are simply hard to come by. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, neighbouring Aubrey Crescent Reserve and just a two-minute walk from the lake, 11 Kowhai Road captures everything there is to love about the classic Kiwi bach lifestyle, space, sunshine, privacy and an exceptional location.

Set across nearly 1,200 sq m, the generous grounds are made for relaxed Taupo living. There is room for the boat and the toys, space for overflow guests to pitch a tent, and plenty of lawn for backyard cricket after a day on the lake. With the reserve alongside, the property enjoys an added sense of openness and connection to its peaceful surroundings.

The north-facing position makes the most of the sun, while generous outdoor living provides the perfect setting for long summer days and evenings spent outdoors. Kwila decking extends the living spaces and creates an inviting place to gather, dine and unwind.

Inside, five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide an abundance of accommodation, ideal for filling the house with friends and guests for weekends, holidays and summers by the lake. A recently completed kitchen renovation brings a fresh, contemporary feel to the heart of the home, complemented by new vinyl plank flooring and partial double glazing.

A striking river stone fireplace, installed in 2023, adds warmth and character to the living space, reinforcing the relaxed atmosphere that makes this property so appealing.

Out on the front deck, a FLARE outdoor fire creates another natural gathering point, extending the enjoyment of this sunny outdoor space well into the evening and through the cooler months.

The plaster-over-brick and cedar exterior adds character and complements the home’s established setting.

But it is the position that truly sets 11 Kowhai Road apart. Tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac, beside Aubrey Crescent Reserve and with the lake only moments away, this is the kind of Taupo location that is increasingly difficult to secure.

Whether it’s morning swims, days on the boat, backyard cricket, extra tents on the lawn or evenings around the fire, this is quintessential Kiwi holiday living in one of those special locations you’ll want to hold onto for generations.
