Nau mai Haere mai - Welcome to Great Lake Taupo - The heart of the North Island. I enjoy the visitors staying here at Lupin Lodge, because I can relate to the overseas hosts I meet on my travels in the past, and I try and emulate that to my guests here at Lupin Lodge. A welcoming spirit and a cosy serene environment is what I try to provide to my guests. I love my thoroughbred horse Pops, who I am currently training to compete at horse trials . I also are inspired to planting more native trees in my ever expanding garden, mountain biking through Craters of the Moon trails, and tramping all the 9 great walks of New Zealand .

The Great Lake Taupo region is one of the world's most unique and picturesque areas.

Those looking for a relaxing experience while visiting this stunning region will love the many geothermal hot pools, spas and geothermal walks, the beautiful Great Lake Walkway, and the extensive range of boutique-style stores in Taupo town centre.
