Kate is a very welcoming and hospitable host, her property is modern and sparkling clean, and her lovely little boy Naish, cool dogs and cat make it feel like home. Highly recommended as a place to stay in Lake Hawea, which is smaller and more peaceful than Wanaka, with lots of great walking tracks close by and beautiful scenery. The local pub offers good food and there is a small store and cafe, making this a great little spot.
