The Area:
Hatepe is a world of it’s own. A beautiful, peaceful village filled with native trees and birds; perfect for a bush walk or quiet bike ride along the river. Hatepe has a 10km/hr speed limit, so it’s very relaxed and safe for children to play. The Village also has a Maori Marae, a fairly unique feature. The culture of the Village is rich and very interesting for overseas visitors. We are yet to find anyone that doesn’t fall in love with Hatepe!
There is no public transport so visitors must bring their own transport.

Getting Around:
There are no local shops, but there are excellent supermarkets within a 15-20 minute drive. Turangi New World supermarket does deliveries to Hatepe several days per week if you choose to buy your groceries online. You are welcome to bring your own boat if you have one, to enjoy some trout fishing, the numerous water sports or just a scenic day out with a picnic. Hatepe has 2 free boat launches and easy mooring right in front of our home to conveniently pick up other guests from the front lawn.
