The Lazy Katz - Kuratau Holiday Home

Discover the simple pleasure of lakeside living at The Lazy Katz, a warm and welcoming Lockwood retreat nestled in the peaceful village of Kuratau. Surrounded by established gardens and filled with native birdlife, this charming holiday home offers the perfect setting to slow down, recharge, and enjoy everything the southern shores of Lake Taupō have to offer.


Step inside and you'll be greeted by the timeless character of natural timber interiors, creating a cosy and relaxing atmosphere that instantly feels like a classic Kiwi holiday. Comfortable living spaces provide a great place to unwind after a day on the lake, while large windows invite the greenery outside in.

The spacious deck is perfect for alfresco dining, morning coffees, and soaking up the peaceful surroundings while listening to the birdsong.

Just a short stroll from the lakefront, you'll have easy access to swimming, kayaking, fishing, and boating, with the nearby boat ramp making launching the boat a breeze. Spend your days exploring the crystal-clear waters of Lake Taupō, then return home to the comfort and tranquillity of your Kuratau getaway.
