About this property

Hatepe Taupo Lakeside Retreat

Hatepe is a quiet lakeside settlement populated with holiday homes and a growing number of permanent local residents. This sunny, warm Lockwood cottage with lovely lake views is nestled in native bush, 1 minute walk to the lake along the reserve. Great fly-fishing in the Hinemaia River and boat ramps for access to the lake. Close enough to National Park and the mountains while Taupo town and tourist facilities are only 20 mins by car. Bush walks close by. Astro turf tennis court available. Ideal for family holiday or for just a quiet break away from the bustle of family/business living. Comfortable living area-cozy in cooler months -warm woodburner with tons of firewood but very sunny during summer months. Delightful native bird population.Ideal accommodation when the snow arrives at Mt Ruapehu.

This bach is loved by our family and has character built from our connection to Hatepe that spans 5 generations.

Special conditions:
Two Night Minimum Tariff subject to review for premium times eg over summer period and long weekends. Special rates for longer stays on request or for last minute bookings

Extras: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels)

Comfortable
Great place to enjoy in summer, close to lake and not tv interruptions so great time to play games and interact with others. Unfortunately the place wasnt very clean white pet hair all over rug, outdoors very dirty such as deck and front door. Also there was No microwave in the house which was quite a downer when wanting to reheat food.

Cute spot close to Lake
The cottage is cute and had everything we needed. It is quiet and far enough but close enough to Taupo to be just what we wanted. Would stay again.

Lockwood in the Woods
A warm cozy home, nestled in amongst a quiet native bush within a short walk to the stunning lake front. A lovely place to relax with no interruption of tv or internet - a place to disengage from tech and re engage with each other
