About this property

Hatepe Haven - Hatepe Holiday Home

Perfectly perched only metres from the lakes edge, you’ll be sure to bring the whole family along for your next lake escape in idyllic Hatepe. Welcome to Hatepe Haven!

Best described as a quintessential Kiwi Country Bach, you’ll have no trouble switching to holiday mode as soon as you set foot into Hatepe Haven. Settle into your dreamy escape by firing up the BBQ, reclining on the outdoor furniture with a chilled drink in hand, and raising a toast to the good times to be had here!

Styled with comfort and relaxation in mind, a cosy living room with picture windows is sure to drench this spot in sunlight on a sunny summers' day. Altering the temperature to your taste into the colder months is no issue either, with the wood-burning fireplace offering a cosy winter ambience.

A well-equipped kitchen is on hand to ensure you can whip up a delicious feast for everyone with minimum hassle. Full laundry facilities are on hand also, including a drying room, perfect for drying togs and towels after a day of making a splash at the lake!

5 bedrooms, which includes 2 bedrooms in the sleepout, will sleep up to 12 guests here at Hatepe Haven, and 2 generous bathrooms plus the added bonus of an outdoor shower ensure everyone has space to get a good night's rest and recharge for the following day.

This Hatepe accommodation is primely positioned less than a minutes' walk from the lakefront, perfect for a spontaneous morning stroll or dip in the crystal-clear lake. After your swim, hop under the refreshing outdoor shower back at home and rinse off before getting stuck into your next lakeside activity.

There is boat parking available and when it's time for a day on the lake, boats can be launched straight onto the jetty just metres from the property.

You're just a 16-minute drive from the local shops, eateries, and supermarkets in Taupo if you are wanting to grab a bite to eat, or top up on supplies.

The perfect setting for creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones, Hatepe Haven awaits!

Great place to spend a low key 40th with a small amount of good friends
Great location Private Very quiet Close enough to taupo to commute for dinner outings etc Surrounding baches appeared to be holiday homes so we mostly had the place to ourselves to sit around the fire and enjoy our friends company without annoying any neighbour's Loved it

Quintessential Bach Experience
Fantastic location in iconic NZ bach settlement. Accomodation basic but totally adequate. Ours was a mixed family group celebrating a 75th birthday, the bach offered something for everyone.

The description of the house contraveins the fair trading act. Sleeps 12 however dining room tiny
Terrible, all rooms in clouding bathrooms only have outside access, lots of lights not working, one broken. Smashed heated towel rail , only 4 basic school type dining chairs , no lounge curtains, curtains missing in garage converted bedroom with no ceiling, very overrated and fat to expensive for what you get. House was warm and beds comfortable. Would not recommend to anyone!!
