With sweeping lake and mountain views, Acacia Cliffs Lodge provides a boutique lodge experience that is the gateway to Lake Taupo adventures.
With spectacular lake and mountain views, Acacia Cliffs Lodge evokes a sense of stylish luxury, privacy and comfort and offers a very special New Zealand experience. The lodge is perched high on a ridge above Lake Taupo in a secluded position, yet is only minutes from town. Explore the Acacia Cliffs Lodge surrounds on a mountain bike or take the scenic walking track to the lake through lush native ferns and trees. In the evening residing glowworms can be seen on the track.


Acacia Cliffs Lodge is a unique, architecturally designed boutique lodge accommodating eight guests in four privately appointed suites, each with its own private deck, spacious ensuite and contemporary luxury furnishings. Three of Acacia Cliffs Lodge’s suites have views over the lake, while the fourth is set amongst the gardens.
Relax on one of Acacia Cliffs Lodge's sun-drenched decks and soak in the panoramic views of Lake Taupo, hear the calls of tui and bellbirds and watch falcons soar through the valley below.

You are absolutely magnificent!"

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
