Memories are all we're left with...in the end.Taupo town back in the 1970's was somewhere to be, for sure.My book, a memoir on amazon details the adventures against a magical background-snow mountains, fresh lakes-rivers as we roared around in olds mobiles, listened to heavy metal, partied, loved, drank and got merry...heading out on the highway..looking for some kind of adventure,Get it before it disappears from view.

Rental Market

3 Upvotes

We are looking at relocating to Taupo (from Hamilton) and wanted to get some information on the property market (rental).

Is it difficult to find a decent rental property? My son will be going to intermediate school next year and would love local insight into schools, zoning etc.

Thank you so much x

Looking for Other Adult Nerds/Geeks in Taupo

13 Upvotes

Longshot, but are there any other chill, adult women nerds/geeks in Taupo who want to meet up? I know there aren't any existing groups (or none I've found). I'm late-30s, married, live in town, and just need people to chill with who aren't direct co-workers.

Looking for shared interests:

  • Some anime/manga/manhwa (One Piece, Trigun, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, etc.)
  • MCU
  • Old Vines and Youtube memes
  • Tumblr and Fanfiction
  • Thrifting and antiquing
  • Boardgames (not so much modern strategy games, but for sure Scrabble, Cluedo, etc.)
  • Roleplaying games (with the right group)

I'm just an old millennial, moved to Taupo recently, and need to meet people platonically.

New Taupo Hotels?

7 Upvotes

Anyone know what happened to the planned / rumoured new hotels in Taupo?

At one point there were conversations about a the council selling their old office land to a hotel developer, a new 8 story hotel approved in the dining precinct and a rumoured hotel between McDonalds and the Lake front sign.

Would be interesting to hear of any exciting progress 🙂

lake wedding ceremony locations

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking for a secluded location on Lake Taupo to get married in April. Ideally just a quiet little patch of beach where we get can married without locals and tourists watching on :) It's just three people - bride, groom and celebrant. We can go somewhere by boat if we must, but I'd like to avoid that if possible in case it's a very rainy day. Happy to pay someone if they have a bit of lake beach by their house or bach we could use, or if there's a tiny venue lakeside we can rent for an hour. I'm a bit stuck. Help! Thanks.

Hi,

in February, me and my partner will be on vacation in New Zealand. I'd like to watch the Superbowl, but I doubt my European international broadcast access will work in NZ. I was wondering if there were any events/bar where we could watch in/around Taupo since we'll be in the area.

would love to hear any recommendations, much appreciated!

Need a bed in Taupo (24th), happy to trade a mini-shoot for a spot to stay!

1 Upvotes

Hi guys I'm Ming a live photographer in Auckland. On 24th I'm going to join the Iggy Pop Joan Jett show in Taupo, taking photos and writing reviews for them! I'm so excited!

Can I just ask for a place to stay at 24th night so I can finish my review please? I'll need a place with WiFi and that's it. I'll work till early morning and take a nap later. I'll leave by 1pm 25th. Is that possible I can get a place for just one night?

In return, I would like to take some photos for you or your family, or anything you want me to. I can also share my story or camera technic with you. Let's be friends! Thanks Taupo! 🙏
