Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Lake Hāwea

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, and we especially loved the fireplace, which made the evenings warm and cozy. The view is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best lakefront locations on Lake Hawea. The hosts were also very responsive and friendly, always quick to help with any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and amazing scenery!

Cozy, warm, welcoming place. Easy to feel at home. Compact and well equiped. Fireplace and tub are wonderful extras in this time of year. We enjoyed our stay!

Julianne’s home was perfect for our stay. Situated in a superb location to enjoy all that is special about Wanaka. Fabulous views over Lake Wanaka and the mountains. Magical sunsets. Beautiful surrounds all walkable. Peaceful neighbourhood. A very spacious and comfortable home with everything we needed and more. Thank you Julianne for being a superhost. Very easy to communicate with and clear instructions before arrival much appreciated.

Tom’s place was spacious and comfortable, beautifully furnished and well equipped. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thanks Tom for the stay.

The house is in a great location—spacious, clean, and we especially love the large balcony in the room. Highly recommended!

This is the most striking house in the most beautiful location I have stayed in New Zealand. If you have a big group and are looking for something posh, this is a terrific place. We felt right at home.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Wānaka. The home was warm, comfortable, and perfectly presented, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel so inviting. The outlook was absolutely stunning — peaceful, private, and a true reflection of the natural beauty of the region. The spa was a standout feature — soaking under the stars in the crisp mountain air was something we won’t forget. Check-in was seamless, everything was clearly laid out, and we felt at ease from the moment we arrived. This place truly felt like a retreat, and we’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and memorable stay in Wānaka.

Leanne was friendly and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended – would definitely stay again!

Thank you for having us. Great place to stay. Will have to visit again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Celia’s place. Celia was friendly and very helpful. Her Airbnb was spotless and was in a quite location

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

Very clean house; looked just like the photos. Well stocked kitchen and super close market to walk to made cooking easy. Jill also included a notebook with clear instructions and stuff to do in the area.

I found Uli’s place to be clean and peaceful during my stay. It has everything you need and is quiet, making it suitable for anyone who enjoys spending time alone. It’s a small town, and I took my time walking around. However, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to walk to the lake. Be aware that there was some road construction ongoing, which made for a lot of uneven surfaces. Despite these, the property was great, and I would definitely book it again for my next trip.

Beautiful kitchen, beautiful house. I liked it

We had an absolutely perfect stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy bedding and relaxing atmosphere. The location was ideal, quiet yet conveniently close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was seamless and welcoming. Truly one of the best stays we've ever had — we can’t recommend it highly enough and would definitely love to return!

Such a perfect house! Compact yet very well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The house was pristine clean, and the location was peaceful and quiet, very ideal for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the backyard. Jason was super friendly and welcoming. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Terima kasih Jason for hosting us!

Location is great with private parking so you don’t have to worry about finding one far away and shifting luggages. The place I clean and near most of the needed amenities, beautiful surrounding and walking distance to the lake. Full function kitchen with no restriction of what are allowed to be cooked. Jane is a wonderful host ensuring our safe arrival and proactively helped us check on the status of the road closure, ensuring our safe arrival. We were greeted with a warm welcome, chocolate and a pre warmed house. :)

We could not have loved Wanaka and this condo more! Everything was so clean, located close to the town area, and Alex & Jesper were wonderful hosts! It was 3 days of bliss for us. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Ideal place for walking into Arrowtown, where restaurants and walking tracks only 20 mins walk. Beds were very comfortable and warm. Heat pump was always a winner on those cold mornings . So quiet, I didn’t know Laura was next door with her lovely family. Washer/dryer worked well. No one likes to wash coming home after holidays. Thx again Laura, I will be back next year! Heather

The apartment was spacious, homely and clean. Some people might have a difficult carrying their luggage up 2 flights of stairs as it was on the 3rd floor. We were blessed to have a quiet stay, as the restaurant on the 2nd floor was closed temporarily during our stay. Host is responsive and helpful, will recommend for a short stay!

Our stay at Carmen’s was one of the best stays we had during our time in New Zealand. The apartment had everything you could want, including a nice box of chocolates on arrival! It was a walkable distance into the restaurants/bars in Wanaka, while also being private and peaceful. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, perfect for our stay in Wanaka. Finally Carmen was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend staying here!
