뉴질랜드 타우포로 가을 여행

 

The minute you drive over the hill and view the expansiveness of Lake Taupo, you're hooked. The view of the snow-capped mountains and the pristine blue lake has persuaded many visitors, including the mayor, to stay permanently. 

 

The locals call this the "Taupo Trap".

 

싱가포르와 크기가 비슷한 타우포 호수 주변엔 할 것, 볼 것, 즐길 것들이 넘쳐난다.

 

The great lake, which is the size of Singapore, is a major attraction and can provide hours of relaxation and fun. Equally amazing are the hidden gems around the Lake Taupo region that many New Zealanders may have never experienced.

 

Autumn and winter are great times to get away to Lake Taupo. Mt Ruapehu, an active volcano is home to New Zealand's largest ski field and just a scenic 80 minute drive from the idyllic lakeside village of Taupo. In Taupo, boutique shops, cosy cafes, award winning restaurants and a vibrant nightlife provide many options.

Transportation to and from the mountain is available so while one carves up the snow, the rest of the family can enjoy a long day of activities that include shopping, soaking in hot pools and indulging in spa treatments.

 

Taupo also offers amazing walks, museums and plenty more. If really getting away is more your style,

accommodation like The Tongariro Lodge and the historical Bayview Chateau are located on the south side of the lake close to skiing and the National Park. These hideaways give you that secluded and relaxed atmosphere that life in the city can't.

Scenic nature walks are a popular autumn activity. For something out of this world, Craters of the Moon is an inspiring walk around an active geothermal field.

Around the corner is the majestic Huka Falls on the Waikato River. A stunning 11-metre drop and 220,000 litres of water per second make for quite a sight. There are several lookout points and a beautiful walk along the river that lead you to a welcoming hot spring and thermal pools at Spa Park. For a closer look at Huka Falls many people ride the Huka Falls jetboat or River Cruise within a few meters of the raging falls.

On the softer side, a cruise on the lake to the magnificent Maori Rock Carvings is a must. The Cruise Cat offers regular cruises complete with hot coffee and warm muffins and a special brunch on Sunday.

To fully enjoy the stunning Lake Taupo sunsets, a sail on the 1920's 50 foot yacht the Barbary is a treat. The Barbary is an historic wooden masterpiece once owned by Errol Flynn. Bring your own wine and nibbles and enjoy the scenery for only $40 per person.

For a birds-eye view of Lake Taupo, see the spectacular autumn colors, snow capped mountains and volcanic crater lakes from the air via the float plane or helicopter ride. Glorious views extend from the steam of Wairakei in the north to the peaks of Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe in the south.

Shopping in Taupo seems to be a favourite pastime of locals and visitors alike. The town has a village feel and is just a short walk from the lakefront. Boutique shops line the streets with quaint cafes tucked in between.

Fine dining restaurants are scattered around Taupo such as Huka Lodge Restaurant, The Plateau, and the new Bistro Lago at the Hilton that is the masterpiece of master chef Simon Gault.

There are some great laid-back eateries as well that include Indian, Thai, Turkish and Italian culinary delights. The homemade Gelato at Kaffee Eis is not to be missed. But you can't go past fish and chips on the lakefront for a true Kiwi dining experience.
