Lakefront House - overlooking Lake Hawea

Our stay at the house had a few issues that affected the overall experience. The host was responsive and did communicate with us, and they were willing to adjust the check-in time, which we appreciated. However, it was only after we enquired about check-in that we were informed the dishwasher was leaking and wouldn’t be fixed until the following week. This was disappointing, as it’s something we would have preferred to know in advance.The kitchen also wasn’t equipped with the quality cookware that was mentioned in the listing, which made preparing meals more difficult than expected. In addition, on the morning of our checkout, the gardening service arrived and began mowing the lawns before we had even left( as this was clearly not done before checking in), which felt intrusive and rushed.Overall, while the host was communicative, the maintenance issues and lack of amenities meant the stay didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the listing.

Great location and amazing views! Having the wood burner was great and kept the whole house toasty.

The lake views are incredible, the location of the bach are the best on offer in Hawea!!Check in was easy, the place is large and spacious, 1 big ensuite bedroom, and 3 other bedrooms. Expect a bit of wind given the amazing location.

This property has an absolutely amazing view but the house itself was very uncomfortable. We booked for 3 nights, but left after 1 night and found somewhere else (expensive exercise, but our choice). The house is very cluttered with stuff. The fridge and stove top were dirty, as were many of the dishes. We felt like we were trespassing in someone's home. My bath towel smelt of nicotine. Empty cigarette packet in the garden bed at the front door says it all. I could go on and on, but basically would not recommend this property.

Suited us as close proximity to occassion

Absolute lake front. Heaps of space for our family group of 9.

Warm and comfortable house with everything we needed for our holiday. The views from the property are wonderful, with great walking/biking tracks on the doorstep. A short drive to Wanaka and good access for the ski fields. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again one day, many thanks to the hosts.

Good size holiday home for big groups. Absolutely mesmerizing location.

Spent 2 nights in this lovely house w/6 adults. Gusty winds at first but views still can’t be beat. Very well stocked w/cookware, glasses,plates etc plenty for group. Construction of roads a bit confusing & house a little dated (beds) but very comfortable & great open layout for group gathering.

Great place, awesome view, absolutely loved it
