Nice place with plenty of heating for cold winter months. Only a short trip distance from Taupō and Turangi, makes for easy access to all sorts of activities in the area. Hatepe is a quiet village right on the shore of the lake, and this place is only a few houses back from the water. The spa and bbq are both a little dated, but we made do with both facilities. The master bedroom is large and modern, a contrast from the rest of the bach which is characteristic of other classic holiday homes in the area. We especially enjoyed having a few drinks around the fire place after a long day in the snow.
