About this property

Cosy and secluded holiday home

Come and relax in our cosy, bright and secluded holiday home and fill your days with all the activities that this lovely area has to offer. If you fancy a run around bring your tennis rackets and your A-game and enjoy a game on the community tennis court. If fishing and lake activities are your thing launch your boat for free from the boat ramp and enjoy a day on the lake. There are amazing walks along the Hinemaiaia River and the fishing in the river is world famous. It is only 20 minutes drive to the thriving city of Taupo for a hit of coffee or a spot of shopping and Taupo is jam-packed with activities and attractions to suit everybody. Drive for an hour and you could be carving it up on the Whakapapa ski field.

At the end of the day maybe you fancy a wander down to the lake front to take in the majestic sunset or get the BBQ cranking, and enjoy a glass or two while sitting out on the fabulous big deck reflecting on what a great day you have had and what a beautiful place Hatepe really is.

provided. (Please ensure dogs are kept on their lead at all times around the village).

Great weekend away
A really nice spot, with a real homely feel. Loved being able to bring my dog on holiday! Has everything you need for a nice time away. Games are mostly kids ones, would be nice to have some extras. But enjoyed the book about the local history a lot! We knew there wasn't wifi, but didn't expect the cell coverage to be so poor - so don't plan to hotspot as a backup. Even though there is a cell tower at the enterence to the village, we struggled to get any internet at the house. All in all, a great weekend away, thanks!

Beautiful peaceful spot
My second visit to this lovely relaxed family cottage. Even though we didn’t take kids this time we were still blown away by how well set up for kids it is. Ample space for the whole family to enjoy outdoor dining or sitting on the front deck enjoying nature. All bases covered in the kitchen which is basic but gets the job done. Thanks again.

RENTER BEWARE!
Booked & paid in full on the day of confirmation, this was well over a week before check in. Waited to hear check in details, thought surely by the time we drive 3 hours to Taupo we would receive them. Several messages & hours later we had no option but to return home. We had the dog with us, finding something last minute wasn't an option. Lorina finally called when we were well beyond a point of returning. Granted, we have been refunded in full & some compensation for fuel. However, this poor management & complete lack of communication, ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing birthday weekend.

Lovely location and great wee bach
Only a short walk to the lakefront, and a short walk in the other direction leads to a nice track by the river. Bach is cosy with fireplace and lots of outdoor spaces, and beds are comfortable. Perfect!

The accommodation was cozy, warm and clean. The area was peaceful with the native birds harmonizing in the evenings and early mornings. The attention to detail was well thought out which made our stay stress free to enjoy our Xmas.
