Safe anchor The Moorings at Lake Taupo

In every profession, experience counts. And invariably it shows in both the architecture and construction of a new home from the flow of the rooms and ease of living to the attention to detail and choice of fixtures and fittings.

The Moorings in Taupo, by award-winning local builder Haimes Building, is a luxury three-level villa development that brings together all of these elements. The six architecturally designed villas sit on a sheltered, north-facing site overlooking Lake Taupo and the town, and are just metres from the tranquil shoreline.

Developer and master builder Mark Haimes says no expense has been spared to create homes that offer the same sense of indulgence as a holiday resort.

"Villas have private lifts, are fully furnished and feature fine chattels and contemporary colour schemes. They are more than a home away from home they are more like an upmarket hotel," he says. "For this reason, the villas can be rented by potential purchasers. Any costs relating to a short-term stay, including airfares, are refunded should guests purchase a villa."

Haimes says sunlight is maximised in each villa, and the views are unsurpassed.

"Taupo is all about lifestyle, and so are The Moorings. Each villa has an easy flow between inside and out, and each has an attractively landscaped, covered alfresco entertaining area and an outdoor gas fire."

The villas are being marketed by Bayleys Real Estate and Harcourts in Taupo. For details, contact Haimes Building, phone 0274 996 664. Websites: www.luxurylakesidevillas.co.nz and www.haimesbuilding.co.nz.
