This classy Bed and Breakfast property is new to the market and the owners are leaving town.

If you are looking for a home and income opportunity then this will not be surpassed. The other options are
to use house as a large family holiday home or live permanently in a wonderful Taupo location. The property
is being offered as Free Hold Going Concern with furnishings included. This luxury Taupo B & B lodge with
breathtaking lake & mountain views is for sale in popular Acacia Bay, offering its new owners a number of
potential options for running the business and using the property in a variety of ways.
Tauhara Sunrise Lodge was built by original owners in 2001/2002. The buildings and grounds are purpose
built for hosting guests and it is an ideal set-up as a home and income operation currently run as a B&B
operation. It offers a great investment in a prime location with breathtaking views that cannot be built out.

The lodge has a very earthy, natural feel. From the dark rock cladding on the exterior, to extensive use of
timbers and soft, natural colours on the interior, it is a timeless design and one which is very restful and
relaxing. The owners used an interior designer to select all paint colours, furniture and furnishings and the
result is a luxurious yet casual feel. There are 6 bedrooms in total, of which the owner's quarters comprise 3
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the upstairs level. The owner's master suite is magnificent, with separate
shower, double spa bath and double vanity. The other two bedrooms in the owner's quarters are both a
good size and share a bathroom.
Downstairs, there are two guest bedrooms - one large king sized suite with ensuite, and a smaller queen suite
with ensuite. Both offer lovely lake views. These rooms are separated by a large kitchenette which with the
addition of an oven {wired and approved) can become a full kitchen. Also on the downstairs level is a 4 car
garage plus a large wine cellar.
The kitchen, dining and lounge/living areas are on the upstairs level. The dining room offers comfortable
seating for 8 (or more with the addition of another table) and has magnificent day and night views. The
lounge has a lovely open fire, beautiful large comfortable furnishings, English Oak coffee table and
bookshelf. The kitchen has a 'country kitchen' feel to it.
Large doors open from both the dining room and the lounge onto a massive patio, again with magnificent
views. Under a covered section of the patio is a 6 person hot tub and an indoor/outdoor bar which makes
extensive use of beautiful native timbers.
The bar area has a small kitchen and full sized fridge. There is also a large bonus room here which the current
hosts use as their private media room. It has built in Niles speakers and a large screen TV.

Out in the back yard, with its own private entrance, is a delightful and romantic 50 square metre cottage (500
square feet). The owner purpose built this in 2007 with romantic travellers in mind, because so many of their
guests had been either on honeymoon or celebrating wedding anniversaries or birthdays. The cottage has its
own solar hot water system, a gas fire, a stunning bathroom with double shower, double spa bath, double
vanity and underfloor heating. It also has a great sound system, with TV, satellite and wireless internet.
The lodge is strategically placed for the tourism market just five kilometres from downtown Taupo and about
one kilometre from Acacia Bay beach. It is eight kilometres from Huka Falls, 10 kms from Wairakei Golf
Course, 18 kms from the Kinloch International Golf Course, 80 kms from Rotorua and 100 kms - or just over
an hour's drive to Whakapapa ski fields and Tongariro National Park.
The current owners have enjoyed hosting interesting guests from all over the world and present a growing
