Hawea Hotel, hotel in Wanaka

Hawea Hotel is located just 15 minutes' drive from the township of Wanaka and is set on the lake front of Lake Hawea.

The view is the most selling point, exceptional. Everything else is above average a bit. I’ll say 4 stars.

    The lake frontage with stunning views of the mountains and lake and choices of eateries catering for vegetarians Good parking but roadworks made it difficult at times to get around Would recommend the Big Fig for vegetarians and Charlie Brown for great crepes

    We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.

    Wanaka is the most beautiful place to visit The views of the lake and surrounding area are really stunning. It’s seemed a really peaceful place with just enough to do. Plenty of eating out places to choose from and many activities and places to visit. We will definitely be back.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.

    We never got to stay there. We booked, got the confirmation, left the area where we had internet coverage, drove to the hotel and opened the message that informed us that the hotel had double booked the room and we had no where to stay. It was 8 at night. Their only compromise was to offer us another option at almost double the price. It also became my job to go through booking.com to get a refund. Terrible experience with the hotel, especially when they had another place available that probably didn’t get rented out that night.

    Amazing boutique hotel with eight rooms a short walk from the Wanaka waterfront. Easy to not use the car and just walk to restaurants and bars and shops. the facilities were awesome - there’s a 8-person hot tub under a gazebo, indoor and outdoor lounging areas, private little balcony, coffee and tea and kettle provided, fast WiFi, beautiful bathroom and shower and towel heater. There’s a heater and a fan in the room. There’s a washer and dryer in the garage for guest use (no fee) and two mountain bikes you can borrow.

    This apartment rental is in a separate cottage behind the owner’s house. It has 2 very large and very comfortable rooms. One room is the kitchen/living area. The kitchen is fully equipped with a table. The living area has comfortable couches as well as a day bed. The bedroom is extra large with a very comfortable king size bed. The owner was very helpful. This place is located about a 25 minute walk from town.

    The Hawea hotel surprised us in terms of the view from the room. It's a quaint little hotel in a sleepy town with gorgeous view that cannot be described in words or captured on a camera. It overlooks the Hawea lake with a mountain backdrop. The restaurant is also pretty amazing with good food options and a view that makes eating there a pleasure in itself. Will highly recommended it.

    This was a great stay, easy to find, very well presented. The house is all to yourself and the bedrooms are very spacious and the double bathroom is a huge win for any families. 5 minute drive into town and various lake entrances. Facilities were great, comfortable furniture and feels like a home more than a hotel / accommodation.

    This was a SPECTACULAR home away from home, close to town with magnificent views of the lake and snow capped mountains. It felt like a home not a hotel, and we were so comfortable for our stay in Wanaka. The beds were comfy, it was warm and had everything we needed.

    Self contained cottage was cute, compact, cosy and clean. Steve gave us a friendly welcome ably assisted by his canine companion, Beau. The friendly vibe was duplicated at the local hotel where we were greeted as if we were regulars.

    Nice “old style” resort hotel, near the lake and all restaurants and bars. Friendly staff, good parking, updated bathroom, good size room and balcony. Not sure why it’s only a 3 star, way better than some 4 star hotels.
