Amanda was very welcoming and discrete to allow us to get on with our stay in Hawes. The place was exactly as described and very clean. It could get quite hot inside but we simply opened the patio door to let cool air in and had our evening meal in the garden with Boston who enjoyed it too.
Lake Hawea is beautiful and very close. We walked around it to take some photos.
We got fish and chips at a very reasonable price from the cafe recommended by Amanda.
The stay is very convenient for onward journey to Queenstown.
