I highly recommend staying at Randall & Amanda's place, especially if you are look for a peaceful retreat away from tourists. You stay in a separate, cozy little cottage set behind their house, with a stove and sink on the front porch. Behind the cottage there is a bathroom and shower house (fully finished and enclosed) which is also just for the airbnb. There is not another building in sight, and there are beautiful views all around, including of Lake Hawea. Randall & Amanda were wonderful hosts, with lots of recommendations and great conversation. Amanda baked fresh bread every morning for us and we went sailing on Lake Wanaka with Randall through their sailing company. Hands down, one of the best places we have ever said, airbnb or otherwise.
