Book a Turangi Cottage

"Very nice location and easy access to the property "

"We enjoyed our stay here. Great location, the back unit is restful looking out on bush. Some noise between units but not too bad. Everything we needed."

"Great spot, beautiful outlook. Really enjoyed our stay"

"Have holidayed in Hatepe for forty years so have rented many properties. Enjoyed the lake side position, the open fire and comfortable furnishings. There was only one extra blanket for the beds for my grandchildren who had come to NZ from 30 + degrees . Thanks owners for letting your property. I nursed with Di North in PN Hospital many years ago when we trained and Dr North was Med Superintendent? ( or have wrong family)??"

"A great 4 days exploring the area, shame the autumn weather didn't hold out."

"We all had a great time. Bach was simple but lovely, a true old school kiwi lake bach. Our girls 6 & 8 had a blast and spent most of the time in the water. Whareroa is a Absolute hidden gem. We will be back. Thanks again, Sim & kay."

"Lovely clean accommodation; in very pretty grounds with secure decking . Comfy beds. Easy communication."

"Thank you for sharing you place with us. Well appointed and super cozy home away from home. Beds were comfortable and a great showers. Really appreciated the linen provided. We will love to return one day."

"Had everything we needed for our three night stay and was handy to the lake for a quick dip! We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the great views of the lake. The location was quiet with the walkway along the lake good for our morning walk. Private snd plenty of room for our group of 12. Would highly recommend 👌"

"overall cleaning need looking at , but otherwise nice stay"

"With this house you get an awful lot of dampness along side all the wonders of a beautiful bush setting, and fantastic morning bird song. There are dehumidifiers downstairs that barely take the edge off the appalling damp, moldy smell down where the lower bedrooms are. Even the upstairs bedroom was more musty than I would expect for a quality bach. When we arrived the hot water hadnt been turned on, and its really hard to get someone from Bachcare to answer the phone, so it took a while to get...

"This property is simply delightful. Well appointed, beautifully designed, extremely comfortable. Please don't tell anyone else about it!!! We want to stay again. Thank you for the gift bag of goodies on our arrival. Best wishes to the owners. They have done a fantastic job of creating a wee bit of paradise. Please also thank them for making it available for rental. We loved our stay. Too brief."

"When we arrived the lights were left on and the door was unlocked. Which wasn't quite what we expected. However the property was clean and tidy and ready for guests. We discovered you can accidentally turn off the water pump as switches are unlabelled above the stove. We used the word burner fire both nights. However noticed the dampener and grate controls are all broken so the wood burns super quick...the door is difficult to close and once hot, distorts and no longer closes. Plenty of wood in...

"Nice and relaxing"

"This place was great , A true Bach and we felt right at home , Location was fantastic with the lake only a few steps from the house as well as having the bike/walk path right there for those evening strolls , All in all a great time at this place . We will be back next year Paul & Tracy"

"Such a good setting, perfect place to relax and chill with family."

"An amazing hide away, stunning views and sweet serenity. A true gem of a place."

"Very nice and clean. Very helpfull host when we accidentaly locked our selves out. Really comfy beds. Great fire. Only regret that the Tv / Wifi would not link with our phone even using correct cable. Will certainly stay here again ."

"Prime location with fly fishing on your back doorstep. Very peaceful & tranquil setting with all the home comforts you need for a well deserved break or holiday. Any future planned holidays back in Turangi (our home town), your river side property will be our 1st choice. Thank you Regards Trevor & Ofa Smith"

"We had a fabulous time staying here. Loved the spa and comfy beds, everything you needed and more. Great communication and location for a walk to town. Thanks so much. Kind Regards Rose."
