Great location and a quick drive into town and the hot pools. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you

Set in Taupo and only 36 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park, Sanctuary on the Grove offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated holiday home is located 36 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley and 4 km from Great Lake Convention Centre. The holiday home has a picnic area and a hot tub.

We were very pleased with the property. It was warm, clean and comfortable. It was also one of the best equipped kitchens we have seen ever. It had everything you needed, and even a couple of things you probably didn't need but were a nice surprise. Would definitely recommend, and would hope to stay here again ourselves.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.
