About this property

Delightful Lake Hawea Studio Cabin

Lake Hawea is a paradise for those who love the outdoors. Handy 15 minute drive to Wanaka, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Central Otago climate and landscape.
The active holidaymaker will easily stay occupied as Hawea and Wanaka are popular for cycling, skiing, hiking, boating, windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing. Adrenaline seekers also have a range of activities to choose from with skydiving, jetboating, bungy jumping, downhill mountainbiking and more all within a short drive of the accommodation.

There are 2 restaurants within 2 minutes walk of the cabin, 2 takeaway places, a bar and a local convenience store.
My house is a 5 minute walk from the lake!

Special conditions:
The cabin is on my large back lawn. I generally try and be as quiet as possible when guests are staying and will inform guests when they book if a social occasion is planned while they are staying.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Poor experience

Very poor communication despite emailing and ringing. Friendly pleasant hostess who allowed us to check in early to a pleasant clean unit behind owners house in an untidy section. Owners head loud music playing until after 3am on Saturday night. Would not recommend.

This is a self contained sleep out to the rear of the hosts home.there is side access to unload your vehicle and park.A small fridge,plates,cups etc and microwave and hotplate are good to do basic cooking(kettle/toaster also).Comfortable bed,good shower,couch and should you need it,TV with dvd's.Easy walk to lake beach and nearby eateries/hotel.Friendly and helpful hosts.Peaceful area.easy to find.Cabin gets a bit hot with sun steaming in but a cooler is supplied and has ranch slider entrance for wide airing.Wee deck out front with table and chairs.We loved our stay here,magic country.Enjoy.

I think the trip to Lake Hawea couldn't have been any better!

Amanda was the best host over! Had an epic time staying at her property. I would recommend Amanda happily and would recommend you to book quickly because her property is not awesome.
