Hi there news from Omori Lake Lodge. Summer is over. The winter months are now looming, and did you know that at Whakapapa there is a new gondola which is to be ready for the ski season! Some weekends for the season are pre-booked already but there are slots available. Get your bookings in. Remember during holiday times and peek periods, two night minimum booking applies at premium rates. A tantalising view of the lake can be seen from the house and deck. The lake which is just down the road is very popular for trout fishing, water skiing and swimming. The houses in the area are surrounded by trees and so there are an amazing amount of birdlife and the nearby bush walks by the lake are lovely. The Tokaanu Hot Pools are a short drive away as is Turangi with its cafes and climbing wall. Taupo is 45 minutes away, a scenic drive around the lake. Or you could just relax in our Bach playing a game or watching your favourite video. We now have a sky decoder installed so bring your sky card. Mountain hikes such as the famous Tongariro crossing or the crater walk on Ruapehu are a short distance away. There's even a croquet and petanque pitch across the road - 3 public tennis courts nearby too. Great value for a Lake Taupo/Central Plateau location and handily midway between Auckland and Wellington, Omori Lake Lodge is a cosy, gas heated, Lockwood style holiday home with 3 bedrooms. We have a modern kitchen with a gas hob and electric oven for your convenience. Book now don’t be disappointed.
