129 Victory Drive, Wharewaka, Taupo, Waikato

Set in one of Taupo’s most sought-after pockets, this Wharewaka home delivers modern design, relaxed living and that unmistakable sense of calm that comes from being near the lake.

From the street, the home draws you in instantly. Clean lines, manicured gardens and timeless street appeal hint at the care that runs through every inch of this property. Step inside, and that impression deepens - light-filled spaces, thoughtful design and an atmosphere that feels instantly restorative.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is a bright, social space made for conversation, connection and making memories. The contemporary kitchen is beautifully executed, with great cabinetry, quality appliances and a generous island bench. Slide open the doors and the living flows effortlessly out to a sun-soaked patio - your go-to spot for summer barbecues, lazy brunches and evenings that stretch just a little longer. Families will appreciate the flexibility of two separate living zones. One for movie nights, one for quiet retreats - or simply a little breathing space when everyone’s home at once.

The master suite feels like a sanctuary with its walk-in robe, and tiled ensuite . Three additional bedrooms provide plenty of options for guests, growing families or a dedicated home office, while the main bathroom keeps things stylish and functional. A double internal-access garage adds everyday ease.

Outside, the landscaped section is private, secure and low-maintenance - a haven for both play and peace. And when the weekend rolls around, you’re just a short stroll to Wharewaka Point, where lake swims, paddle sessions and scenic cycle trails await. With the new Kokomea Village nearby - complete with cafés, shops and a supermarket - everything you need is close, yet life here still feels wonderfully unhurried.

If you’ve been searching for a home that captures the best of modern family living and Taupo’s relaxed lakeside rhythm, this deserves to be top of your list. Contact Judy Clarke today.
