Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Hāwea

Great home for bigger numbers and affordable 😄

Great location, excellent house. Suited our needs perfectly, and came with a few additional features like mountain bikes we could use which were quite handy. When we had a problem with the heater, we had a solution within a couple of hours. Highly recommended.

Jessie’s house is truly wonderful—spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably maintained. The property was in excellent condition, and we especially enjoyed the spa pool, which added to the overall experience. I highly recommend her house for a family stay. My three-day stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would gladly return.

The experience of staying at the yellow door home was amazing! I highly recommend this home to anyone considering staying in Wanaka. It has amazing views, is very private, well laid out and has everything you could ever need in a holiday home. It felt very homely, with plenty of the things you would see in your own home which made you feel relaxed from the moment you walked in. I highly recommend making use of the spa at dusk, as the sun goes down and the stars come out, it is beautiful. We really loved our stay at this home and would gladly book it again when we visit Wanaka.

Awesome walking location to all Arrowtown main st . Spa was well received after golf and biking activities . Outdoor lounge is great under cover for summer rains and comfy. Everything you need here . We loved it .

Beautiful house! Had everything wee needed and more! Different spaces for adults and kids. Stunning house and host was amazing

We loved our stay in Gavin's passive house. The house is in an excellent location, close to town and a short walk from Lake Wanaka. The house is beautifully designed, light and airy and very comfortable. We loved the window seat at the front with lovely views of the mountains - a perfect spot to read and relax. A really lovely home

The chalet is well located, it's a quiet and peaceful place. It's about 10 minutes walk from the Wanaka tree and about 25 minutes walk from downtown. The hosts have been responsive and attentive to our needs. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much.

We had a fantastic stay at Debra's place in Wanaka! The house has a perfect layout for a family and is such a lovely spot for creating special memories. The kids loved the big selection of Lego, books, and games, and we really appreciated having a playground and park just around the corner. It’s also an easy, quick walk into town. A really comfortable, well-equipped home—we’d happily stay again!

Beautiful home, in a lovely quiet area of Wanaka, close to walking tracks. Emily was very responsive and a great host, highly recommend.

Photos don’t do the view justice. Jeremy was a great host. This is a cabin type experience. We stayed in the winter and used the cottage as a home base for skiing and other activities which was great. Quick ride over to Arrowtown and Queenstown but far away enough to feel private and peaceful. Some important points regarding previous reviews I read about the place being “cold”…the ground floor is all slate stone…as Jeremy recommended, just bring some sandals or slippers to wear around. There is a large heat pump, a lovely pot belly stove, and space heaters and all the beds have blanket heaters which we actually didn’t use because they were too hot…so it’s easy to stay warm and the view and coziness are well worth it, but if you’re expecting a thermostat in a hotel room that you set and leave…this wouldn’t be the place for you. We loved our stay and the host was very responsive.

We loved our stay here. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home. Sharon and Peter have created a beautiful space that has everything you could need. We would definitely stay again and definitely recommend this lovely spot. It was great meeting you both 😊😊

Daisy was great! the place was VERY spacious and she gave me some great advice about some local hikes. I was actually bummed I didn't book another day while in Wanaka! When I mentioned that to Daisy, she even offered me another day but I had to run to another destination. the place itself was great and in a chill neighbourhood. loved it!

Nice place, very comfortable. We only stayed one night but had a pleasant time in Wanaka. This unit is perfect for two couples and we appreciated the off-street parking.

We had a lovely stay! It was perfect for our family of 6 and our two friends visiting us. It had everything we needed! Thank you much for sharing your home. We would definitely love to visit again and take more in of Wanaka.

We enjoyed a lot with this place like our own house All amenities as mentioned Time to change the kettle We love to book again if we get a chance

Great place to stay, good location not far from Wānaka town. House was clean and tidy and Paula was very helpful!

This is an excellent location and spacious property. Would happily stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Sophia’s over Easter. Our 18 month old son loved the trampoline and having so much space. We loved the views and everything was only a short drive away.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The kids played endlessly in the back yard and pool as well as at the park across the street. We enjoyed playing pool in the game room and walking to the nearby beach and trails. The house is not in the best of maintenance (worn out carpet, door knows that don’t quite work, etc), but these were not show stoppers for us. No regrets for picking this place, if you have a big group and are looking for a great location, some extra space, and a cabin-like feel, this fits the bill.

Jay’s place was beautiful. The surrounding were very peaceful relaxing. The town nearby had lots of great food choices and plenty of good hiking close by.

This is a luxury property beautifully presented with a fantastically stocked kitchen. The outlook to the tree covered hills is lovely and we enjoyed relaxing around the outdoor fire. We all thought that the spacious living spaces, stunning decor and quiet location was great value.

Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Lovely and warm on cooler evenings. So handy being 2 minutes walk to the Cadrona pub for dinner.

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.
