Great Hatepe Cottage

Cosy place with all the main amenities and in a great area for getting away from it all.Clean enough but with a couple of arachniphobes, there were a few too many bugs around for us.

Another wonderful stay

This was our second summer staying at this property and we loved it so much the last time we stayed for a full two weeks. The house has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. A fully equipped kitchen, full laundry facilities and comfortable beds and living areas. The outdoor areas are large with plenty of shade on those hot days. And ideally only minutes walk from the lakefront! We will be back.

Fabulous Bach

Great Bach with everything you need. Very very clean and everything as described. A short walk takes you to the lakeside and less than 5 mins stroll to the famous “Hine” river for fly fishing so you can rig up at the Bach and walk straight in. Good and swift responses from the owners and clear instructions on how to get there and also how to use all mod cons. We will be booking again without doubt. Thanks so much.
