FREE GUIDE
 The Cozy Corner
Nestled right in the heart of the North Island, surrounded by rich volcanic soils and fertile pastureland, Great Lake Taupō is truly blessed with world-class experiences in a boutique-style town centre.

The region is home to many specialist growers and artisan producers, who are just as passionate about their products as the land. It’s this home-grown attitude that you’ll find meandering around the compact town centre – cafes burst with local produce, quirky boutiques offer hand crafted keepsakes, and bars and restaurants showcase locallybrewed beer, mead, and spirits.

The forests and crystal-clear rivers call game hunters and anglers from all around the world, with fishing for your dinner being a top pastime in the area. Experience this passion in the food you taste, the shops you visit, and memories you make here. Navigating Taupō’s hidden gems is simple: park your car in the lakefront town centre, and wander the streets, laneways, and arcades, discovering as you go.

World-class dining can be found at various luxurious lodges, excellent bistros, bakeries, cafés, and boutique food and wine merchants. For a laid-back affair try some awardwinning takeouts with a refreshing local craft beer. Fans of retail therapy will not be disappointed with the town’s offerings. From fashion boutiques with racks lined with local and international designer labels, vintage stores, destination homeware and gift shops, ceramics, and art and craft galleries, the big-box brand stores blend perfectly with the artisan boutique. If markets are more your thing, a weekend spent exploring the town’s two markets can’t be beat. You’ll find something for everyone at Taupō Market (Saturdays) and Market Central Taupō (Sundays).

Dining out in TAUPŌ

Everywhere you go in Taupō, you’ll find real New Zealand flavour on show. Vibrant seasonal produce rubs shoulders with unique local ingredients to become the stars of the innovative fine dining scene. Home to luxurious lodges, fine dining establishments, gourmet pubs, and elegant eateries, it will soon become easy to see why Taupō is a foodie haven.

The pristine waters of the Great Lake, and its pure flowing rivers, are famous for the trout that can be fished year-round. Trout can’t be sold, but if you’re a keen angler, local restaurants can prepare and cook your catch for you. Call in advance to check before enjoying a true “lake to plate” experience.

The stunning lake views also offer for magical dining experiences, whether you are cosying up by a cracking log fire or relaxing with an alfresco coffee in one of the lakeside cafes. You might also spot several quirky food truck-style eateries dotted around the town – many of them are local favourites, so don’t hesitate to try one out while you’re walking past!
