About LakeCrest Lifestyle Village Taupo

LakeCrest Lifestyle Village Taupo logo

We are excited to share with you LakeCrest, our brand new, master planned lifestyle village for residents over 65. Positioned overlooking the beautiful and iconic Lake Taupō it offers premium residences with a range of architecturally designed living options.

Upon completion, LakeCrest will offer independent living through to 24 hour, personalised care should our residents need living support in their future years. This opportunity for continued care will enable you to stay in the place you call home, regardless of life’s changes. The first homes will be completed by the end of 2023 when we will welcome our first residents into the Village.

The LakeCrest suite of residences are architecturally designed to embrace lakeside living. Choose between the 2 or 3 bedroom villas or the 2 bedroom duplexes - all with stunning exteriors and layouts designed with your needs in mind. Featuring contemporary styling, abundant natural light and warm interiors with the flexibility to be as individual as you. The generous proportions and mature landscaping make for a home to be proud of.

We appreciate that part of creating a welcoming home are the design touches you add to reflect your personal taste and style. We welcome you to select a palette that suits you from the range of colours and finishes that have been expertly curated by our interior design team. From window coverings, kitchen bench-tops to bathroom tiles you may choose your favourites or leave it in the safe hands of our designers - your new house will feel like home as soon as you move in.

A host of brand new facilities will offer exceptional recreational, fitness, cultural and social spaces for you to enjoy. Our Members Lodge will be the centre of our social heart, where events will be held and we come together. A stunning, light and luxurious space where you may pop in for a drink or chat, watch a movie or sit by the fire. Our facilities will include:
• Residents’ Club Bar

Nestled within the new residential town of Kokomea Park it benefits from a strong connection to a growing community of all ages. Kokomea Village is a short garden-stroll away, featuring Countdown supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy and welcoming places to grab a coffee, enjoy a meal or do a little shopping.
