When you’re booking a getaway, location is everything.
Located at 173 Lake Terrace on the lakefront, Roam Taupo is just minutes away from the region’s best sights.
Here is exactly how close you are to Taupo’s top attractions when you stay with us:
1. Hot Water Beach - 2 Min Walk
You don't need to drive anywhere to experience Taupo's volcanic warmth. A quick 2-minute stroll along the lakefront brings you to Hot Water Beach, where natural geothermal springs bubble up right through the sand.
Why we love it: You can walk down in the morning, dig your toes into the warm sand, and soak in the views across the water before the rest of the town wakes up.
2. Taupo Town Centre - 15 Min Walk
The vibrant town centre - packed with fantastic cafes, restaurants, and shops - is an easy, flat 15-minute walk along the paved Great Lake Pathway.
Why we love it: Walk into town for dinner and drinks without worrying about parking, then stroll home to a quiet lakefront retreat.
3. Huka Falls - 15 Min Drive
New Zealand’s most visited natural attraction is practically on your doorstep. Huka Falls is just a short 15-minute drive north.
Why we love it: You can pop out to see the roaring blue waters, grab a quick photo, and be back relaxing in your unit in no time.
4. Craters of the Moon & Spa Thermal Park - 15 Min Drive
Both the steaming boardwalk trails of Craters of the Moon and the free geothermal river pools at Spa Thermal Park (Otumuheke Stream) are an easy 15-minute drive away.
Why we love it: Having two of the region's best geothermal spots so close makes day planning effortless for families and couples alike.
5. Tongariro National Park & Ski Fields - 1 Hour Drive
Planning a day walk on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing or heading up to Whakapapa Ski Field on Mt Ruapehu? Roam Taupo sits right on Lake Terrace, making your drive south smooth and direct.
Why we love it: You get a central, comfortable base close to town, while still being perfectly placed for big day trips into the mountains.
