Shopping

More than you might expect
Taupo is a shoppers dream. No multi-level malls or cluttered car parks to navigate… yet all the same labels you’d expect in a big city.

Think village, not vast and impersonal. Fresco, not food hall. Park for free and stroll along the wide tree-lined streets. Discover fashion outlets to die for and outdoor-adventure shops brimming with supplies for any Taupo experience. With over 200 stores, Taupo truly has something for everyone.

And when the shopping bags get too heavy, relax and enjoy some of New Zealand’s best coffee culture at one of our many cafes or bars.

The coffee tastes great in Taupo! Enjoy a cappuccino served with fresh air in any of the sunny outdoor cafes in summer or snuggle around the open fire in winter with a steaming hot chocolate, looking at the snow covered mountains across the lake.

Taupo has many restaurants to choose from to make your dining experience memorable. There are wonderful restaurants with unique food and great service – from pubs & sports bars to internationally renowned silver service dining, and everything in between.

Great food, great retail, great atmosphere… you’ll be hooked!
