Lake Hawea Station
This sheep and cattle station offers four accommodation options in the middle of a working farm.
Overview
Just 15 minutes from Wānaka, Lake Hāwea Station offers visitors an authentic farm experience while they stay on-site in one of the property's four luxe accommodation options.
The farm has four accommodation options available: the three-bedroom glass-walled Lake House, the studio-like Little L tiny house (which comes complete with a miniature library), the simple two-bedroom Homespur cottage and the historic Packhouse cottage, which sleeps six. All houses boast stellar lake views, outdoor fire pits, hot tubs and outdoor dining.
Owners Jussie and Geoff Ross received recognition for their renovation and transformation of the 16,000-acre property which they purchased in 2018. They were also recognised for the farm's focus on animal welfare practices, enhanced farm biodiversity and their work to slow climate change — including the planting of more than 100,000 native trees.
