Welcome to Kenshaw Cottage, a classic kiwi bach with lake views from the deck. Tucked away in peaceful Omori, this is a great place to escape from the big smoke and recharge the batteries.
Tidy and bright with fun retro styling, Kenshaw Cottage is a great "off-the-grid" weekend away for couples or small families. There is an old-school radio and plenty of books and games to keep the kids entertained, plus the large grassy yard perfect for backyard cricket!
With plenty of space to park the boat, Kenshaw Cottage is ideal for keen fishers and water lovers, as you can be on the lake's edge or boat ramp in just a 2-minute drive! The BBQ is on hand back at home base to cook up the catch of the day and enjoy a meal with your group on the deck.
Enjoy a laidback stay in a slice of Kiwiana paradise at Kenshaw Cottage!

Quiet and comfortable little place with everything we needed with a nice view of the lake from the balcony. Nothing flashy at all but when you are out most days this little place is all you need.
