72 Harakeke Drive, Wharewaka, Taupo, Waikato

A home designed with you in mind. Whether you’re a large family, a Taupo holidaymaker, or seeking space for extended living, this substantial 266sqm (more or less) residence delivers scale, flexibility, and comfort in equal measure. Spanning two levels and constructed in durable brick with board-and-batten accents, the home balances contemporary style with enduring appeal.

Upstairs is the heart of the home — spacious, light filled, and beautifully cohesive. A sleek black kitchen with stone benchtops anchors the open plan living and dining area, while large windows elevate the surrounding outlook and flood the open plan living area with natural light and peaks of the lake, reinforcing the home’s all day sun. Corner sliders open directly to the balcony, creating seamless indoor outdoor flow and an easy extension of the living space.

The master suite offers a private retreat, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe and a well appointed ensuite. A separate additional room on this level provides flexibility as a home office or fifth bedroom — ideal for evolving family needs. Downstairs, three spacious bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and a second living area — the perfect breakout space for guests, teenagers, or extended family.
