Nestled on the stunning shores of Lake Taupo, Kinloch is known for its breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. While it offers an incredible lifestyle, it also faces some of the chilliest winters in the North Island. But in this eHaus Euro in Kinloch, cold winters are no longer a concern. Designed by the talented architect Dean Baldock, this 218 sqm home is a perfect blend of modern design and energy efficiency. Boasting four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage, this home also features an open-plan living and kitchen area that serves as the heart of the home. The expansive deck and alfresco dining spaces are perfect for soaking in Kinloch’s stunning natural beauty, whether entertaining guests or simply enjoying the outdoors.

We have been in our beautiful home a year now. I’m so excited to tell you that we haven’t paid a power bill to date! We are even in credit of $300 after the winter! Now that’s what I call sustainable living. When we’d been in a couple of weeks, I realised I had a pile to be donated: full of electric blankets, duvets, fans, and heaters.
