Fun is greater this winter at Lake Taupo

After the great success of the 2017 Taupo Winter Festival, we are sure that the 2018 Festival will be another great event.

The 3rd annual Festival takes place during the July school holidays (12 - 15 July 2018). It's aim is to give every person that attends, a world-class experience. There will be art exhibitions, workshops, live street shows, live music, as well as the interactive events such as the iconic Great Wall Taupo, The Unison Light Trail and Generation Homes Mid-Winter Swim. Much of the programme is free to attend, while tickets for the shows go on sale from April 2018. For more info visit their website www.taupowinterfestival.co.nz.

Plan a winter break in Taupo and make sure to make the most of the 2018 Taupo Winter Festival.

While you're in Taupo, you will need a place to stay and relax. Check out our wide variety of accommodation options at Taupo DeBretts.

If you don't feel like going far on a cold winter day, warm and entertain the family for the day at our natural hot mineral pools. We have hydro slides and the famous dragon slide to keep the big kids happy and for the little ones, we have an interactive warm water playground and mini slide. Take time out from the activities and relax in style.
