About this property

Serendipty Shelter

David & Stella look forward to hosting you in our lovely holiday home in the tranquil setting of Omori .

We are one of the few omori holiday homes where you will be dealing directly with the owners. That’s means we can offer value pricing all year round with a flat rate for the property with no additional guest fees

Please note unlike many other places we do not charge a “cleaning fee “ or a “bond” preferring instead to believe that our guests will treat our lovely holiday home and possessions with respect

Please view our feedback from previous Guests. Many of these have been repeat guests over the years.

Omori is a very central location , Situated on the southern shores of lake Taupo handy to Tongariro National Park & ski fields etc but only 40 mins from Taupo . Omori is a very family orientated location and has excellent community facilities including, All weather boat ramp , Tennis court , Excellent swimming beaches & a well stocked general store.

Regional attractions include , Trout Fishing , Tongariro national park , hot pools , mountain biking ..... and numerous other activities.

Lockwood style house 2 bedroom , sleeps 4 . lovely quiet spot in a no exit street , perfect for familys. Lake Taupo 2 mins walk away & childrens playground across the road . Large flat section with drive thru off street parking for the boat(s)

Being a Lockwood style house the house is very warm in winter with a cosy fireplace and plenty of firewood . Gas hot water also means unlimited hot water so no problem for the entire family to have hot showers after a day on the ski fields

Perfect place for us
Fully fence plus corner site is really ideal for us. You can park the boat easily inside of the gate, site is flat so easy for our boat. We always need to take our dog for holiday, it's a lot easy with a fully fence site. Nice and quiet street.

Great house and location
Had a terrific long weekend at Serendipity. Clean, well appointed house with everything you could want or need, set in a lovely garden. Omori as a location is beautiful. Lots of walks and places to explore. Very appreciative that the hosts allowed two very small dogs, this really elevated the holiday.

Great space to relax
Enjoyed our stay. Was clean and a quiet and relaxing spot. A short, scenic drive to Turangi gives plenty of options. Plenty of space outside etc to entertain kids and a playground just across the road as well. Would stay again. Thanks 😀
