Great get away
Posted May 31, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat little getaway cottage that allows for peace and quiet but not being far away for Wanaka.
The fact that the lake is literally within arms throw is amazing and that is not even to mention the views when the sun starts to rise and peak over the mountains

10-Star View
Posted Apr. 16, 2024 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed this cozy cottage with hot tub and 10-star view. We loved watching the mountains, clouds, and lake from sunrise to sunset. We even had cute bunnies hopping across the lawn on Easter. And Closeburn is near to great hiking, especially the Mount Crichton Loop track. We just loved it.

Overall, a good place to stay
Posted Jan. 7, 2024 on HomeAwayWe stayed in the Lakefront Fantail house for four days in December. If I based my review on the first hour, it probably wouldn’t be favorable as there hadn’t been any housekeeping since the previous occupants. However, after a couple of calls to the owner and VRBO, things were straightened out (miscommunication with house keeper). We made up the bed ourselves with fresh sheets and towels for the bathroom.
After that, we loved the place! The location is quiet with nice walks along the beach. It has a nice view of Lake Hawea, and is a short drive from Wanaka and wineries.
If you like to cook, the kitchen is fantastic. All Le Cruset cookware, Smeg knives (best knives I’ve ever used in a rental), top notch appliances. Having a washer and dryer (when clothesline not fast enough) was also a plus. We would definitely come back!

When we arrived that day, it was raining. The other room, which was supposed to be indoor, turned out to be in a bad condition. The sofa bed there was broken and the bedding was not clean. There were also numerous insects inside the standalone house. In the main living room, the dishwasher was filled with a pile of unwashed dishes, and the dryer had some damp clothes inside. Overall, the place gave an unpleasant and unhygienic impression.

Peaceful Lake Hawea
Posted Dec. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayLovely time in Fantail cabin was bigger than we thought does have a view or the lake but it is affected by by vegetation fine for us though.
Cabin had everything we needed and there is a shop within walking distance, extra small sleepout if you need it in separate building.
This is an area of holiday homes and was quiet in December when we stayed, set above the la

This is a well appointed and spacious property with stunning lake views and is a good location to stay!
However I confirmed by text my arrival the day before and was given key-code instructions and a confirmation. When I arrived the property had not been cleaned from the previous stay. I thought i resolved the situation by speaking to the property owner who offered to remove the $90 cleaning fee, we stripped the sheets and made the beds. I received a $60 refund not the $90 offered by the owner in the voice conversation. If they sort out the cleaning issues it will be a great property to use.
