Romantic Getaways in Taupō
Some time away together deserves more than a hotel room.
Set within the private Whakamoenga Point estate above Lake Taupō, The Point Villas gives couples space to slow down, switch off and enjoy each other’s company. Think sweeping lake views, native bush, quiet mornings, long dinners, private spa time and nowhere you need to be.
For anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays or a spontaneous weekend away, your villa becomes part of the romantic escape.
Privacy changes the pace of a couples’ getaway
There is something different about having a beautiful place entirely to yourselves.
Wake naturally to birdsong. Make coffee and take it out to the deck. Spend the morning exploring Lake Taupō, then come back for a swim, a spa or an afternoon with no plans at all. In the evening, cook together, arrange a private chef subject to availability, or settle in with a bottle of wine and watch the light change across the lake.
At The Point Villas, there is no busy lobby, no shared dining room and no need to organise your weekend around anyone else.
Just time, space and privacy.
Villa One, Tatamoana: a romantic retreat overlooking the lake
For couples, Villa One is an especially beautiful choice.
Tatamoana is a peaceful two-bedroom villa with expansive views across Lake Taupō’s Mine Bay. Its sunny living area opens onto a generous deck, while the outdoor spa and Canadian cedar barrel sauna sit among native bush.
Spend the afternoon by the pool, enjoy sunset from the sauna, soak in the spa beneath the trees, or stay inside beside the fire with the lake in front of you.
The villa also includes a fully equipped designer kitchen and BBQ, giving you the freedom to dine exactly as you like.

A secluded Lake Taupō setting
