Set in Taupo and only 38 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park, Acacia Bay Bach - Views, Spa & Serenity - Taupo offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. With city views, this accommodation provides a patio. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the lake and garden. Our stay at this property was absolutely amazing. The place was incredibly clean and comfortable, and the spa with a view was a fantastic bonus. However, the highlight of our stay was Don, the host. He was the best host we’ve ever had—kind, attentive, and always making sure we were okay. Don truly made us feel welcome, like we were at home. We can’t recommend this place enough!
