Lakefront luxury in the heart of New Zealand

 Okuta Bay Retreat is a boutique bed and breakfast overlooking Okuta Bay (also known as Mine Bay) on Lake Taupō, New Zealand. With a growing collection of 5-star guest reviews, this luxury lakeside retreat is ideal for couples looking to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy time together. Our two-bedroom Garden View Suite also welcomes adult families and friends travelling together.

Tucked away within the private lakeside setting of The Point, Okuta Bay Retreat is surrounded by native bush, beautiful gardens and walking trails alive with birdsong. Enjoy the changing moods of the lake, spectacular sunsets and star-filled night skies, or simply take time to relax and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

A five-minute walk from the Retreat brings you to the water's edge, where you can swim in the famously clear waters of Lake Taupō, enjoy the beaches along the bay or simply sit and take in the view. The Ngātoroirangi Māori Carvings at Mine Bay can also be seen from the lake and, on calm days, are within swimming distance from The Point's private jetty.

Staying at Okuta Bay Retreat is about more than a beautiful place to stay. Jane and Mark love welcoming guests, sharing good food and helping you discover the Taupō they know and love. Enjoy homemade sourdough, home-baked treats and fresh produce from the garden, along with local recommendations and insights to help you experience the places, food and landscapes that make this part of New Zealand so special.

Okuta Bay Retreat is a Quality Assured member of the Bed and Breakfast Association of New Zealand, reflecting our commitment to exceptional hospitality and a truly memorable guest experience.
