Great location for exploring the region. Lake frontage just minutes away. Handy to have the local pub and cafe so close. Outdoor setting at the rear was sunny and private.

Great get away

Great little getaway cottage that allows for peace and quiet but not being far away for Wanaka. The fact that the lake is literally within arms throw is amazing and that is not even to mention the views when the sun starts to rise and peak over the mountains

Beautiful quiet location

Smooth booking and check in process. Building has all amenities for cooking and washing and an amazing outlook over the lake. Easy 10mins into Wanaka but has local conveniences with a shop, takeaway and pub in town. Close to Clutha River KJets, puzzling world and only 30mins to Cardrona, 60mins to Queenstown. Nice relaxing stay.

Everything you need

This property had everything you need for a stay away from home. We loved the quiet location but still not too far from restaurants and sites we wanted to visit. The house could benefit from a deeper clean and some more up to date photos in the listing.

10-Star View

We enjoyed this cozy cottage with hot tub and 10-star view. We loved watching the mountains, clouds, and lake from sunrise to sunset. We even had cute bunnies hopping across the lawn on Easter. And Closeburn is near to great hiking, especially the Mount Crichton Loop track. We just loved it.

Peaceful Lake Hawea

Lovely time in Fantail cabin was bigger than we thought does have a view or the lake but it is affected by by vegetation fine for us though. Cabin had everything we needed and there is a shop within walking distance, extra small sleepout if you need it in separate building. This is an area of holiday homes and was quiet in December when we stayed, set above the la

This property, in anamazing location, is NOT a 2 bedroom. 1x bedroom, pullout sofa, cabin down the back with bed near the ceiling accessed by ladder steps. Beautifully appointed kitchen. Did I mention amazing views? The only reason we stayed.

Cozy perfect size

Awesome little place. Checking in and out simple. Looks much better in person than the photos. Plenty of space for 3 people. Great kitchen and bathroom. Felt like every tap and shower was trying to water blast me, fantastic. Would have appreciated some form of drying rack/room for wet ski gear, but the coat hanger did the job.
