This is an amazing place to stay. Firstly for the incredible view on to Lake Hawea and the surrounding mountains that you will never tire of just staring at every day.
The house itself is lovely, simply done but care and attention has been paid to all the right things. Kitchen really nicely equipped.

The garden is also really nicely done and gets the sun almost all evening so was great to have a BBQ in on nice evenings. The back of the garden backs on to a path which runs along the south border of the lake and then it is the lake itself, this means you are practically right on it.
The local recommendations were superb, we went to the Hawea Pub and shared the lamb shoulder which was delicious. We also went and walked up to the Sawyer Burn Hut from the Kidds Bush nature reserve which gave astounding views back on to the lake.
Overall this was one of the best places if not the best place we have ever stayed. Cannot recommend enough
