Great Place

Really loved our time here! Quiet and peaceful and a great location for the lake. A 40 foot walk takes you to a glorious view of the lake. Perfect for an afternoon happy hour. It was cozy and comfortable. Thank you!!

What a fabulous property! Lake front, safe, next to a fantastic walking path, close to shopping, tucked in perfectly (privacy) so it feels like you are off the beaten path and away from the hustle of town. Excellent communication from the friendly and welcoming owner. This was my favorite spot we stayed in while in NZ. Highly recommend.

A little less ideas than we thought

This property was very clean and absolutely no communication problems or issues with the hosts. However, the bathroom was a tiny space with a sliding glass door - not very private. Also, the view isn't all it seems in the pictures. Granted, we were there in the rain, but the view it shows in the picture was unavailable to us. I'm not sure if the landscaping grew in or because of the fogginess we couldn't see, but the cabin was farther from the water than we thought it would be.

Photos misrepresent cottage in owners garden

The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated however it had no television or radio no puzzles or DVDs or books. Property was at the end of the owner’s garden. Lack of privacy and kids play equipment straight out the window. The cottage was freezing cold in evening and morning and stifling in the afternoon. No way to pass time or cook the simplest meal. Sitting on deck you could hear everyone in house’s surrounding property and people out front above lake. Not for us sorry.

Lake Front Cabin

Sweet little cabin on the lake front about 5 walk to nice beach with great views over the lake. Great location close to the general store and about a 2 minute drive to the local boat ramp. The cabin has a nice little Terrace which has great sun mid afternoon in the summer. We staying 1 night and the accommodation was perfect for our needs.. Kaz was great with quick responses and all the information we need to make the check in process easy. She was also very accommodating to a few extra needs that we had.

Lake Hawea

A nice location but the property is not one we would stay in again during the colder damper months. The oil heater was only just adequate, really needs a heatpump which would also help with the condensation. Would be an OK summer stay.

Position good with a view of the lake. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Good value for the price. Heating was a fan heater in lounge this was noisy. A different heater would be better.
