About this property

Magic location. Relax and unwind. Peace and serenity in beautiful Hatepe. It’s perfect for both Winter and Summer, just 15 mins to Taupo/Turangi and 45 mins to the Mountain. Famous trout fishing, mountain biking and hiking. Our house offers kayaks for the whole family, bikes, and all your lakeside essentials. There are 2 separate, cosy living areas, 3 fireplaces and underfloor heating. The kitchen boasts one of the best views from anywhere and with dining either inside or out, you will love it!

The Area:
Hatepe is a world of it’s own. A beautiful, peaceful village filled with native trees and birds; perfect for a bush walk or quiet bike ride along the river. Hatepe has a 10km/hr speed limit, so it’s very relaxed and safe for children to play. The Village also has a Maori Marae, a fairly unique feature. The culture of the Village is rich and very interesting for overseas visitors. We are yet to find anyone that doesn’t fall in love with Hatepe!
There is no public transport so visitors must bring their own transport.

Getting Around:
There are no local shops, but there are excellent supermarkets within a 15-20 minute drive. Turangi New World supermarket does deliveries to Hatepe several days per week if you choose to buy your groceries online. You are welcome to bring your own boat if you have one, to enjoy some trout fishing, the numerous water sports or just a scenic day out with a picnic. Hatepe has 2 free boat launches and easy mooring right in front of our home to conveniently pick up other guests from the front lawn.

The pefect Hatepe getaway

We come to Hatepe to stay with family and friends every year, and everytime we have walked past 'the lakehouse' we've said that we would have to stay if we ever get the opportunity. We absolutely loved our stay here, it is an amazing property and Lisa is a great host. Not only was the property in pristine condition but Lisa has thought of everything a visiting guest would need from games, sunblock and even labelled light switches! This is a dream location and we can't wait for our next opportunity to stay again.

Everything for fun

A fabulous spot with all the water toys to please everyone. Stunning location and views, comfortable beds, well stocked cupboards. Would recommend it to anyone. While Taupo was frantically busy, Hatepe remained peaceful and private. Brilliant holiday thanks.

Magical Place

We were a family group of three generations including a 5 month old baby. There were plenty of bedrooms and en suites in the large comfortable house., which was clean and well equiped. Under floor heating and an open fire kept the house warm. We were disappoined the under floor heating was turned off the evening before we departed. We had a relaxing stay and even caught a trout in the river. We certainly hope to return to your magical place.
