Magical Lake Hawea

A beautiful holiday home in Lake Hāwea. A truly wonderful and peaceful place to stay to enjoy the area. This is a ‘home from home’ accommodation which made our stay very special.

Best rest yet!

Amazing communication with the host, on top of that a lovely place to stay at for whatever reason your there for. The place was comfy, accessible, clean, and well done. There is also the beautiful clear lake a minute down from the house (The host has some Kayak equipment which we were very fortunate to make use of down at the lake) All in all would definitely stay here again.

Warm and dry

Overall a nice tidy place. No dinning table made dinners interesting. We think the owner eats outdoors in summer as there was an outdoor table and chairs but not really an option in winter. Lots of missing lightbulbs in the property.

Phantastische Aussicht in paradiesischer Ruhe

Ein wundervolles Haus, perfekt für 4 bis 6 Personen. Voll ausgestattet und herrlich ruhig an einer Bucht gelegen. Phantastische Sicht auf See und Berge. Außergewöhnlich das ungewöhnlich große Deck mit allen Möbeln und einem Gasgrill, der keine Wünsche offen läßt.

Great Location for a quiet family getaway

Amazing views. Quiet, chilled out location. We came to ski but the snow wasn’t great so we did lots of relaxing and some biking and hiking. The kids spent ages just skimming stones by the lake. Warm and cosy afternoons by the fire. Bliss!

4/10 Poor

Nice views and location to Lake Hawea

Nice views and location to Lake Hawea. The deck was in progress of being replaced. Parts of the home were upgraded while others needed maintenance. We were told we had to take our trash and recyclables with us. We had to find the center and pay to dispose of them.
