What a great place. Picnics by the lake with the children, ice creams at the local shop, board games if it’s raining. We even found glow worms nearby. Highly recommend.

Great space to relax

Enjoyed our stay. Was clean and a quiet and relaxing spot. A short, scenic drive to Turangi gives plenty of options. Plenty of space outside etc to entertain kids and a playground just across the road as well. Would stay again. Thanks 😀

Perfect place for us

Fully fence plus corner site is really ideal for us. You can park the boat easily inside of the gate, site is flat so easy for our boat. We always need to take our dog for holiday, it's a lot easy with a fully fence site. Nice and quiet street.

Great house and location

Had a terrific long weekend at Serendipity. Clean, well appointed house with everything you could want or need, set in a lovely garden. Omori as a location is beautiful. Lots of walks and places to explore. Very appreciative that the hosts allowed two very small dogs, this really elevated the holiday.

Great stay

Tidy house and yard, everything you need for a cozy stay. Not many places you can take your dogs away on holiday, this house was perfect plenty of room for the dog crates in the lounge with out them getting in the way. Fully fenced section stunning deck. Very handy for nearby walks and easy trip to Taupo for a day of adventure. Will hopefully be back for another stay soon.

Much needed get away

We had the best 4 days away in Omori. From the time I booked the cottage to getting there, it was all so easy. The hosts were helpful and so accommodating and also allowed us to have a dog with us. The house is comfortable and perfect for our 2 boys to run around in the garden and play. The fire was perfect for the days we got back from being in the snow and the walks are lovely and relaxing. We loved the area, it was so quiet and peaceful. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back in the summer time and plan to make coming to your holiday house in omori our new family get away place.

Everything you need

Well presented, tidy, cute bach with everything you need! We enjoyed returning here after a day at the beach. Internet and Netflix a bonus! It was great to be able to bring our dogs too. Unfortunately one of our doggies realised the height of the fence was a breeze to jump over. Fencing better suited to little dogs. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend it. A bit of a walk to the beach but definitely not a big deal.

Great winter holiday

My three kids and I stayed at the bach, and we had a great time. It was very cosy and warm with great amenities. Great location - we went for walks around the lake and up Mount Ruapehu. I hope to be back!
