Top neighborhoods in Taupō

View at the lake Taupo in the North Island in New Zealand

Taupō Central

Taupō Central serves up lakefront adventures right on New Zealand's largest lake with thermal hot springs for soaking tired muscles. The marina bustles with sailing activity while the Great Lake Walkway offers stunning water views for walkers and cyclists. You'll find Māori cultural experiences, trout fishing spots, and plenty of outdoor adventure shops to gear up for local excursions. Lakeside restaurants range from casual fish and chips to upscale dining with local specialties. Accommodations include everything from budget-friendly backpacker hostels to premium thermal spa resorts with hot tubs. The compact town center is easily walkable, with regular bus services connecting to major attractions like the thundering Huka Falls nearby.

Jetty on Acacia Bay, North Island New Zealand

Acacia Bay

Acacia Bay delivers Lake Taupo's best views without the tourist hustle. Sandy beaches invite lazy days of swimming and kayaking, while scenic walking tracks wind along the shoreline. Pack a picnic to catch those jaw-dropping sunsets painting the western sky, or try your luck fishing for lake trout in crystal-clear waters. Casual lakeside cafes serve fresh fish and ice cream, but most close early. Most visitors stay in holiday homes and baches with kitchens instead of hotels. A car is essential for exploring since public transport is limited, though walking paths connect the main lakefront areas.

Richmond Heights

Richmond Heights delivers a true slice of Kiwi suburban life just minutes from Taupo's attractions. Peaceful tree-lined streets lead to nearby Waipahihi Botanical Gardens and Lake Taupo's shores. The neighborhood's spacious homes and mountain views create a perfect retreat for travelers seeking outdoor adventure and local charm away from tourist crowds. Holiday homes and B&Bs dominate the accommodation scene, offering authentic New Zealand living experiences with full kitchens and gardens. While restaurants are sparse within the neighborhood, a quick 5-10 minute drive takes you to Taupo's dining options, hot springs, and marina. A rental car is your best bet for exploring this relaxed residential haven.

Looking out across Lake Taupo at the Central North Island volcanoes, Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Tongariro. The town of Taupo is very nice, with plenty of cheap hostels, around $25-35 per night

The neighborhood's tranquility is its main attraction, with central Taupo's restaurants and shops just a 10-minute drive away.

Volcanic energy bubbles beneath the surface in this lakeside playground. Dip into Spa Thermal Park's steaming waters where hot springs meet the cool Waikato River. At Huka Falls, the mighty river narrows dramatically, forcing turquoise water through a volcanic gorge with thunderous power. Lake Taupō's crystal waters invite fishing for trophy trout or cruising to view ancient Māori rock carvings. Adrenaline seekers can skydive above the massive caldera or bungy jump over the river. For a gentler pace, explore the lakefront promenade with its cafés and ice cream shops. The surrounding volcanic plateau offers hiking trails through otherworldly landscapes, while nearby Tongariro National Park tempts with its famous Alpine Crossing.
