Set on the exclusive Whakamoenga Point peninsula overlooking Lake Taupō, The Point Villas offer a rare level of privacy and independence within one of the North Island’s most scenic settings. Surrounded by native bush and birdsong, these architect‑designed villas combine refined design with the freedom of a private residence—perfect for travellers who value space, seclusion, and the ability to settle in and truly relax.
The property comprises two standalone luxury villas, each fully self‑contained and positioned to maximise lake views and indoor‑outdoor living. With no shared spaces and generous amenities throughout, The Point Villas are equally suited to couples seeking a quiet hideaway or families and friends travelling together.
Accommodation
Villa One – Tatamoana
A peaceful two‑bedroom villa with sweeping views across Lake Taupō’s Mine Bay, Tatamoana is designed for seclusion and calm. The villa features open‑plan living, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, deep‑soaking baths, and generous ensuite bedrooms. Outdoors, guests can unwind in a private swimming pool and spa, or retreat to the cedar‑barrel sauna tucked among native bush—perfect for couples or small families wanting privacy in nature.
Villa Two – Ngahere
Meaning “the forest,” Ngahere is a spacious three‑bedroom villa surrounded by native bush and birdsong, designed for connection and relaxed group stays. With expansive living and dining areas, multiple ensuite bedrooms, a private swimming pool and spa, and an expansive deck for alfresco dining, it is ideal for families or friends travelling together while still offering plenty of space to spread out.
Both villas feature full kitchens, laundry facilities, generous indoor‑outdoor flow, and private outdoor amenities, allowing guests to enjoy complete independence with the option to engage local chefs, stocked pantries, or dining arrangements in Taupō as desired.
Dining
Guests staying at Point Villas are well catered for with a range of thoughtful dining options. Breakfast provisions can be arranged, alongside pre-prepared gourmet dinners or the option of a private chef. Taupō’s vibrant dining scene is also just a short 10‑minute drive away, offering an excellent selection of restaurants and cafés.
Experience
Life at The Point Villas unfolds at an unhurried pace. Guests can swim, kayak or paddle out on the lake, wander bush tracks through the estate, or relax poolside with uninterrupted lake views. The villas also provide an ideal base for exploring Taupō’s geothermal wonders, the iconic Tongariro Alpine Crossing, nearby golf courses, and scenic flights over the volcanic plateau.
Discreet, private, and beautifully appointed, The Point Villas offer the freedom of a luxury home with the reassurance of thoughtful local support—an elegant alternative to a traditional lodge stay.
