Guidebook for Taupo
Food Scene
Great southern India food. Five star food at inexpensive prices. A top chef so allow a little extra time for him to prepare your meal. BYO wine at a very reasonable corkage.

Right on the lake edge. Has been one of Taupo's top restaurants for about 30 years. Expensive but a great place to see sunsets over the lake and the western hills.

Across the road from the lake with views to the mountains of Tongariro National Park. Average food at average prices but a great selection of on-tap beers. Best for a lazy lunch on a beautiful day.

Sightseeing
A must for any visitor to Taupo. You will be amazed at the turbulence of the Waikato river and the colour of the water. You will wonder how water can be so blue and yet so clear. A good option is to park at Spa Thermal Park (end of County Ave) and take the beautiful river walk to the falls (about 45 minutes each way). Take your bathers and have a swim in a thermal stream where it joins the mighty Waikato River.

These spectacular carvings rise straight out of the crystal clear waters of Lake Taupo. Accessed by water but there are cheap tour options from the Taupo Boat Harbour.
I like to tell people that the carvings date from ancient times but in fact they were carved only about 30 years ago by master Maori craftsmen.

Arts & Culture
A small and interesting museum that covers the early settlement of Taupo. An excellent display of Maori carvings and early trout fishing exploits. The trout were introduced in the late 1800's and in the early days they were humungous - some as big as salmon.
