You should think about moving to Taupo, the lakeside resort town in the middle of New Zealand

Located in the central north island region, this small resort town is brimming with adventure

With access to an incredible landscape and year round activities, Taupo offers something for everyone. In the winter months, head to nearby Mt. Ruapehu to ski or snowboard in New Zealand’s largest ski field. As the weather warms, head to the beautiful lake or river to enjoy your favorite watersports, or explore the mountains for incredible multi-day hikes. Whether you love skiing, sailing, cycling, or swimming, you’ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors any time of year. For a more competitive adventure, you can even take part in the Ironman or Great Cycle Challenge, both of which draw international crowds every year. 

But when the crowds are away, the small population and countryside feel of this lakeside town make for a quiet and relaxing home. For a calming retreat, take advantage of the natural geothermal hot pools at Spa Thermal Park or DeBretts Spa Resort. You can meet the locals through the many social groups and spaces, including the auto club, yacht club, social netball and rugby, which offer a community for all ages and interests. 

Taupo’s small size doesn’t mean a lack of living options. You can live on a lifestyle block on the peaceful outer edges of town, a family-friendly neighborhood close to the town’s two high schools, or even a luxury lakefront apartment. 

Taupo’s CBD offers excellent shopping and dining. From big name brands like Huffer and Ripcurl to small, hand-crafted boutiques, retailers offer big name goods and unique finds. When hunger strikes, check out some of the town’s highly rated and varied cuisine. Local favorites include Dixie Brown’s, Vine, and Cafe Baku. 

And when you’ve explored all that Taupo has to offer, the town’s central location and nearby airport makes planning your next trip a breeze.
