We had an great time at Maude Views, it was warm, spacious and comfortable. The house is modern, beds are super comfortable, shower pressure is amazing and lovely kitchen to work in. Has a great coffee machine and most of the mod cons. Must admit we were hesitant about Lake Hawea as opposed to Wanaka but found its only 10 minutes more into Wanaka and only slightly more time/distance to get to Cardrona skifield, less crowded and stunning Lake Hawea a walk away. Plenty of great trails within walking distance such as the Hawea River trail and Johns Creek Track to name a few. Highly recommend Maude Views!
