Boomerang Boulder Bach, Whareroa Village

Built in 2023 the Boomerang Boulder Bach above the shores of Lake Taupo, at Whareroa, is styled on the architectural era of the 1950s. Wood-paneling throughout, stone interior wall, Scandinavian-styled furniture, and bespoke kitchen. A wrap-around deck shows off Lake Taupo, and the imposing Whareroa Cliffs. Although the neighbouring houses are close, the village has very few permanent residents and so the peace and quiet is almost deafening; birdsong and boats is often all you will hear.
