This cute private studio is almost brand new, in a quiet spot at the rear of a property. It suited me very well - it was comfy, tasteful and well-equipped, good bathroom, and with cooking/dining facilities (including microwave and hot plates). Amanda made me feel welcome and was just next door if I needed anything. Hawea is a peaceful alternative to Wanaka (which is only 10 minutes drive away), and Amanda's place was only a couple of minutes walking from a couple of restaurants and a lovely lake view. Hawea is on the way from Wanaka to Haast Pass and the West Coast, so you have a little bit of head start if you stay here.
