Hidden away in breathtaking natural surroundings just 15 minutes outside Wanaka, Lake Hawea Station is a remarkable union between regenerative working farm and exquisite design lodge. Proudly New Zealand owned and run, the station is the country’s first carbon positive farm, and sustainability is at the very heart of the operation. From the commitment to protecting waterways, restoring biodiversity and planting over 100,000, preserving the delicate balance with nature is a crucial part of Lake Hawea’s Station’s raison d’être.
Despite the station’s wild and untamed surroundings, every detail in the station’s two guest cottages and lake house has been meticulously curated to provide a luxurious, home-from-feel. Home-baked cookies and wine greet you on arrival, beds are furnished with the finest linens, and Bose speakers allow you to create the perfect soundtrack to the unforgettable views. Each cottage also boasts a state-of-the-art kitchen, perfect for preparing a delicious meal using one of the station’s gourmet food packages.
