Lake Taupo's region is sheer natural beauty. Here you will find some of NZ's purest, untouched, unspoilt, uncrowded country. Lake Taupo is New Zealand's largest fresh water lake perched in the Central North Island region on the Thermal Explorer Highway. It is just 2 hours from Hamilton and 3½ hours from Auckland.
Taupo is adjacent to the Tongariro National Park, New Zealand's first national park and world heritage area. This is the home of three volcanic mountains: Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe. A glorious picture with their snow-capped peaks. Close by are forest parks with amazing ancient beech forests and natural thermal pools.
There is a fresh water delta wetland at the southern end of the lake that has become home of at least 40 bird species. You can enjoy the spectacular Huka Falls, the amazing Hidden Valley Geyserland and Cave, the Lake Taupo Hot Mineral Pools which are all close by. The lake itself offers swimming, boating, fishing, skiing.

Accommodations
Lake Taupo - North Island
The Tauhara Centre, an exquisite venue known world wide, sits on top of the hill overlooking Lake Taupo 's Acacia Bay and Mt Tauhara. Tauhara has a friendly, peaceful atmosphere with an abundance of nature. Many native NZ birds such as the Tui and Bellbird live here. It was designed as a spiritual and educational centre, which would draw people together and groups of differing viewpoints and methods of working, but united in their search for truth and the establishment of good will and understanding in the world.
Five hectares of beautiful gardens, with walking tracks that meander through a sloping hillside of bush and scenic lookouts. The hexagonal designed wooden buildings create a wonderful energy.
'The Sanctuary' stands alone as a building designed with high energy to enhance quiet meditation, solitude and connection with your inner silence. Available are twin and triple share self contained units and separate bunk rooms with shared bathrooms and laundry facilities are provided. The seminar rooms are open and spacious, all overlooking the landscape.
Meals
All meals are beautifully prepared on the premises. Wonderfully nutritious meals and snacks are prepared with love and served with a smile. Packed picnic baskets and delicious fish and chips by the lake are options.

Feedback
"Congratulations on a most successful yoga holiday. Thank you for getting me where I needed to be." -
Glenda Rode-Bramanis, Brisbane
"Words cannot express what I have gained from this NZ retreat. All I know is that you have helped me incredibly and I feel blessed to have spent this time with you. I feel empowered and enthusiastic about life and that my journey has been enlightened by your presence. You have presented a wholistic retreat that has blended laughter, tears, self realisation and yoga practice. You have taught me to have faith and belief in myself and that I can conquer, face and embrace my demons and become a person who can accept light and love." -
