RENTAL INFO FOR VISITORS
Find Hatepe cottages for holiday lets by day or week on websites such as www.bookabach.co.nz. Nightly rentals vary with the time of the year - i.e. choose a public or school holiday (high season) and the cost will increase compared with quiet times.
Most villagers do not rent their cottages so the number available is limited. The lease allows holiday lets only for an accumulated three months of each year. This policy keeps Hatepe the casual holiday village it is.
Please do not contact me for permanent rentals. We don't have any. Folk buy here for their holiday home, not for the quick-flick to make a profit, or renting it out to get the mortgage paid.
I manage three cottages that do not choose to use the public websites. You can contact me at [email protected] with requested dates. These cottages are not available from Christmas to end of January, but subject to family use are available at other times.
Hatepe cottages are set up completely equipped for your holiday, but unlike motels are not serviced.
'The Rules' for all Hatepe cottage casual lets are: do not bring any more guests than agreed; bring your own linen; ask if you want to bring a cat or dog; and leave as tidy as found or you wont being coming back again. On request a cottage can be cleaned at your cost after departure.
Guides for Residents renting are: please provide firewood for your paying guests in winter and gas for the bbq in summer. Remind your guests to respect other residents who are here for a quiet break; that anglers take precedent in the rip; that there is a small payment for the tennis court; and to be aware of the Lake Taupo boating rules.
VACANCIES OVER THE HIGH SEASON
If you have any last-minute cancellations when your regulars let you down, tell me [email protected] . I will post the dates and nightly rate here for prospective renters to contact you direct.
