Accommodation near Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge

Race weekends work better from a place of your own. Early starts are simpler with your own kitchen, there is room to sort gear the night before, and supporters have somewhere comfortable to wait between checkpoints.

Taupō sits on the lake shore at the centre of the North Island, with the volcanic plateau behind it. Staying here puts race starts, the lakefront and the thermal parks within a short trip, with quiet evenings by the water once the day is done.
