Summary: We loved our stay at the Lakehouse. Having the lake as our backyard was picture perfect, the view is beautiful. We originally booked for 2 nights but decided to stay an extra night because we loved it so much. Could have easily stayed longer! Would definately recommend. Just note that it is about a 20 minute essy drive into Taupo and no shops nearby. Plenty of nice places to eat in town when you get there. Overall, great stay!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
