A lovely relaxing stay in Hatepe for our family and pooch. If you are looking to unplug and reconnect with loved ones and nature then this is the place for you. Highlights include hanging out by the lake, bushwalks along the river, wine with books snuggled up by the fire. A very responsive host. Highly recommend.
With the lockwood cabin feel and fireplace heating for the lounge and seeping into the bedrooms, it was such a cosy comfort for a mid-winter getaway. There were a few fun card games and jigsaw puzzle to hunker down and spend some quality time doing. Beds were comfy and the house kept the heat well.
we enjoyed this cabin by the lake. easy access to the Tongariro Crossing and Timber Trail...about 15min drive from Turangi. nice deck for relaxing in the sun.
This property is true Kiwi Style.Come in with your sheets and towels etc.Clean up, vacuum, do dishes, rubbish etc when you leave.The place is only as clean as the last person. Saying that it was comfortable, cosy and had absolutely everything you need.The batch was in a perfect local. Set amongst stunning native bush. It was very private, close to the lake and perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Absolutely lovely location with a quick walk to the lake. The house had everything we needed. Patchy mobile service in the area (could have just been my carrier - 2degrees). We loved the quant ambiance of the house and watching the birds from the deck. Good communication with Simon. If you've never been to lake TaupĆ and would like to go for a swim, I do recommend bringing along dive booties or water shoes - something to protect your feet from the rock bottom.
Enjoyed great sunsets , easy access for some enjoyable fly fishing adventures and the cabin had all the essentials to cook a quick meal . Would come back again .
We came down for a college visit and really enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped and clean. The beds were comfortable! The location was great. Would definitely stay here again.
A true home away from home, offering every comfort imaginable. The tranquil view invites relaxation, while the well-appointed kitchen boasts delightful accessories for every culinary need. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. The community is warm and welcoming, and our hosts, whom we had the pleasure of speaking with, are truly lovely people. This experience provides everything one could wish for.
