We spent a night here while travelling through and used Hawea as a base for visiting Wanaka. The cabin is snug and has amazing views of Lake Hawea & the mountains; stars at night were breathtaking. It took us a moment to get used to the shared space as we'd been staying in mostly private airbnbs before this. However Fran is very friendly and is used to hosting people so we didn't feel in the way. Delicious breakfast was provided and we used wifi elsewhere in town. Bed and shower weren't the best, but we had everything we needed. :)
