Omori large house

A wonderful place to stay with whanau. The house was super clean and well organized— with everything you need to cook family meals and hang out comfortably. The 15-minute walk to Pukawa Bay for a superb swim was delightful as you meandered through a beautiful native bush accompanied by plentiful native bird song.

Wedding Weekend

The property was big enough to enjoy our own space with exceptional views. The driveway was unsuitable for low cars and not really suitable for more than 1 vehicle, it was very steep and sharp angles.

2nd Home

Weddings are stressful so good accomodation is a must. You do have to bring linen etc, and the downstairs was a little musty? The location for us is perfect as backs onto our whare, so, Well definitely book again, Thank you ❣️

A fun time away

Great location of the property with gorgeous lake views. A vehicle with ample ground clearance is a must for access up the driveway. The house needs a good spring clean, but otherwise we had a great stay

Nice view

I think it would be a good idea to be honest about how terrible the driveway is, before you make people pay! You literally can not drive up it and it’s so steep makes unpacking vehicles pretty difficult. Also, the wood on the inside creaked so loudly most of the night! Rather disturbing. Lovely house and view. But wouldn’t stay here again.

Kamahi Bach

An adequate bach - we usually stay in Kuratau but decided to try Omori this year. We usually pay $100 less per night in Kuratau and expected a bit better at this bach based on that... The driveway is very steep and uneven - luckily my husband is a skilled driver and we have 4WD!! Otherwise, leave your vehicle down the bottom! Being a lockwood, it bangs very loudly all hours of the day and night in the top story which led to many a sleepless and interrupted nights for us! Lovely view, easy access to walkways and shop (if you like a bit of cardio as involves hills!) Good fishing off local beaches!

Great views!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful property! Views were amazing from the deck, enjoyed the local walks, and house had everything we needed. Owner was easy to communicate with and reasonable price. House was quite noisey but that is normal with Lockwood homes. Overall very happy with our stay! Thanks!

Simply awesome

Great spot with a magnificent view from the deck. Really enjoyed the native birds close by. House was large and had plenty of room for all. Watch out for the driveway as it is pretty steep. Overall we had a great time and would stay again.

Comfortable and well equipped

Although a little TLC is needed (some curtains and blinds in poor condition, hole in shower wall, missing light bulbs), the house is overall a pleasant place to stay, ideal for extended families. Great to be able to have the dog along.

Wonderful family holiday

What a fabulous spot. A great house for a family holiday. The only issue we had was the decking edge. From the photos online it appeared to be more secure than it was. Definately not safe for little ones!! Otherwise it would have got a 10 out of 10 from us.

Great for families

Perfect for our two families and our two dogs. Lots of space and nice that each family had plenty of room. We had a lovely time relaxing by the fireplace. We had some trouble on the driveway so would recommend leaving your car on the road.
