We had a great stay in Lake Hawea! The studio is so well designed and furnished that it felt very spacious. The shower is especially good. Wanaka is a short drive away but we spent our time swimming and walking around the lake. We had a picnic lunch there on our second day and were the only people on the beach. It was so relaxing. Jude was a great host, helpful and informative and we would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
