Situated in a private estate overlooking the blue waters of Lake Taupo, The Point Luxury Villa is a holiday home featuring a spacious terrace, garden and views of Mount Rapehu. The property is just 10 minutes’ drive from Taupo town centre. Free private parking for up to 4 cars is available.

Everything about this accomodation was soo beautiful. The house was well thought out and there’s absolutely nothing essential that isn’t provided throughout the entire house. The views were amazing. The surrounding was gorgeous. It felt soo homely. We didn’t want to leave.

    Ron, the proprietor was very helpful and informative about Taupo, its places of interest, Hot Water Beach, the coastal drive to Turangi, etc., and the many very fine restaurants. We had one of our best NZ meals in the Plateau Bar and Eatery. The apartment was very well organised and the bed very comfortable.

    Fantastic location for the lake, short walks to 2 mile bay or Taupō centre. We stayed for the ironman so this was a perfect location for my support crew to setup on the run. They could access both the outbound and inbound section of the run easily and had a nice lakeside lawn to sit on.

    Amazing view from the beachfront 1st floor and a good communal BBQ in the little garden. Walk over the road in morning for a dip in the lake.

    Such a perfect location right on the beach. Welcoming, accomodating and friendly staff. I originally wanted to do a late checkout, when I called to ask they were happy to help and very friendly. I felt as they wanted our business. (Whereas the large hotel further along the beach were less friendly and not accomodating.) It helped us make the right choice to stay at Boulevard Waters and we throughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were large, spa bath lovely, thermal pool a treat and the view stunning. Highly recommend.
