Kaz’s cosy studio has everything you’ll need for a short stay in the beautiful Lake Hawea area. It’s also conveniently located near Sailz Lake Hawea Store, which has everything from cup noodles and sunscreen to a mean bacon and egg pie! Kaz’s place is a stone’s throw away from the lake - you can see it from the cabin and there is an almost-private walkway directly to the lakefront, which is unspeakably gorgeous and peaceful. Lake Hawea is definitely one of the most beautiful spots on our entire South Island journey.
Kaz was incredibly hospitable: we found 2 bottles of beer and a Pinot Gris waiting for us in the fridge.
But what really impressed me about her was that when I woke up with a bout of vertigo on our second day there, and texted her, Kaz immediately gave me advice on what to do and where to go for medical aid. The Doctor at Wanaka Medical centre sorted me out by the afternoon. Very grateful for Kaz’s help beyond the call of duty!
