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.

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 😀

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.

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.

Our week in Omori.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to your piece of paradise. Cant fault the accommodation. It had everything one needs for a visit. The firewood and having the dogs with us were bonuses. Great fridge and freezer, and gas hobby. Omori is a great place to chill out and relax. If you need it the internet and TV are provided. Weekdays we found it very quiet and felt like we had the place to ourselves. The local walks are a credit to people who have clearly worked hard to restorevtheclakecedge.

Serendipity indeed
It was a last minute decision which lead me there. So the bach lived up to its name. Comfy, cozy, all necessary amaneites and fully fenced so dog friendly. All in all I wish I could have stayed longer.
