About the host
Hosted by Rhys Hakkens
Kia ora! I’m Rhys, a long-time Airbnb host with over 8 years of experience welcoming guests to some of New Zealand’s most beautiful locations. While I’m based in Wellington, I also manage a peaceful getaway in Hawea Flat—a place that I absolutely love for its tranquillity, scenery, and connection to the land.
I’m passionate about travel, food, and helping people experience Aotearoa in a real and authentic way. I’ve travelled across Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, and what I enjoy most is creating spaces that feel like a home away from home. Whether you're looking for a nature retreat, a digital detox, or a quiet base to explore the South Island, I’m here to help you enjoy it fully.

Why they chose this property
Hawea Flat is a hidden gem tucked just outside Wānaka, and it offers one of the most peaceful, breathtaking landscapes in all of New Zealand. You’re surrounded by mountains, farmland, and wide open skies—it’s a place where time slows down, and nature takes centre stage.
This area because it captures the essence of what makes New Zealand special: unspoiled beauty, outdoor adventure, and a sense of space that’s becoming harder to find. Whether you’re heading to Lake Hāwea for a swim, hiking in the nearby hills, or simply sipping coffee while the sun rises over the mountains, Hawea Flat offers a kind of magic that’s hard to describe until you’re here.

What makes this property unique
This Hawea Flat property is all about peace, privacy, and nature. Set in a quiet rural setting, it's perfect for travellers looking to unwind and reconnect. You can enjoy the morning birdsong, spectacular sunsets, and star-filled skies at night—without any of the noise or hustle of city life. Yet, you’re just a short drive to Wānaka, so you’re never too far from good coffee, great food, and local attractions.
Guests often tell me they leave feeling rested, inspired, and recharged. The space itself is designed for comfort and calm, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Whether you’re here to hike, bike, kayak, or simply switch off and read a book, this is the kind of place where you can truly unplug. It’s not just accommodation—it’s an experience.
