Book a Omori Cottage

"The retro styled villa we had (11) was very clean and suited our needs wonderfully for a overnight refresh , highly recommend "

"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."

"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"

"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."

"We were very excited about this property based on the listing and the pictures. While the views are certainly amazing, we were overall disappointed. The house is not marked, making it difficult to locate on the street. Many of the windows were open upon our arrival, with bugs inside and making it even colder than the outside and extremely difficult to warm up. We called the manager on duty multiple times and didn’t receive a response (via email) until the day of our departure. We had to fill the...

"A really enjoyable few days at a holiday home to which we have returned regularly. The house has all the basics and the provision of towels and bed linen was appreciated. A new BBQ has been provided. Again, this is appreciated."

"Great spot"

"Down for a wedding at the lodge, accomodation suited our family perfectly, nicely renovated, everything we needed."

"Tidy house and yard, everything you need for a cozy stay. Not many places you can take your dogs away on holiday, this house was perfect plenty of room for the dog crates in the lounge with out them getting in the way. Fully fenced section stunning deck. Very handy for nearby walks and easy trip to Taupo for a day of adventure. Will hopefully be back for another stay soon."
