Where you’ll be

Taupo, Waikato, New Zealand

The Point is a very special place, with amazing views & a sense of quietness & tranquility. Everything from the amazing landscaping to the birds singing in the morning will induce a sense of calm and ease you quickly into a relaxing holiday mode. The Point is also a very safe and private place to be (especially with children) with only people residing at the point being able to gain access to the property & facilities due to the private gates at the entrance.

We hope you feel at home here!
