Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Hāwea

Had a great stay with some lovely walks down to the river, the hot tub was a hit.

Totally recommend this place 10/10! Such a beautiful house, amazing views and garden, lots of activities to do at home. The house has every thing we needed. Perfectly clean and has unique feature. We would come back to stay here again if we visiting Queenstown again. And Deborah also is very kind to greet us and show us around.

Peter and his wife made us extremely welcome. The room was beautifully appointed and the outside sitting area a wee gem.

Michelle and her partner were fantastic. Always happy to cater to our needs and responded timely to all enquiries. The area offers the seclusion and privacy for a romantic getaway. Lots of stars at night and golden silence to sleep well after a day full of adventures in Queenstown. Lucky to find such a place. Thank you Michelle!

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 had a great stay at this wonderful spot! My wife, 11-month old, and I stayed for 4 nights. Cozy, clean, peaceful. Randall and Amanda were welcoming and extremely helpful. Loved the fresh bread, eggs, & jam and the apples and almonds straight off the trees! We were happy to support and experience this sustainable, off-grid farm. Would definitely stay again if we end up back in the area. =)

Had the best stay here! Peaceful location with stunning surroundings. Willowbrook is so thoughtfully designed, full of charm and well-equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor bath was such a treat, and we loved the friendly ducks who came to say kia ora every night. Rhiannon was super helpful and responsive—would absolutely stay again!

Great property - the architecture of the living room area was something else. The kitchen and pantry were extremely well stocked with a variety of condiments and utensils. The nespresso coffee was also of a good quality. The location is a 10 minutes drive from the town. There were a couple of minor confusions in terms of the facilities (heating, sound system etc.) but they were resolved promptly. There is an amazing park right next to the house which is great for toddlers. The jacuzzi is also amazing! Overall - a superb find.

Loved staying in the “Man Cave” for a few nights while exploring Wanaka! The space was thoughtfully curated, and very comfortable. We’d stay here again anytime we return to Wanaka
