The stay
What to know about this stay.
Lake Taupo Lodge, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture, sets a small number of executive suites, Frank, Lloyd and Wright among them, around landscaped gardens overlooking Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond. Made-to-order breakfasts, evening wine and daily fresh flowers give this small lodge a genuinely personal feel rather than a standard hotel routine.
Its garden and library offer quiet space between excursions onto Lake Taupo or into Tongariro National Park, and the property can be booked exclusively for small weddings or private functions with a two-night minimum, turning the whole lodge into a private venue rather than one shared with other guests.
