The Guesthouse features its own kitchen, a ping pong table in the garage, and a balcony with breathtaking lake views — the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet moment before the celebrations begin. The second kitchen comes in handy too - perfect for private chef’s to use or for wedding prep work allowing the main kitchen to remain open for everyone to enjoy.

Work meets Wellbeing!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a private two-day fitness and wellness retreat here at Lake Hāwea View for a group of 10 guests and facilitators from a well know adventure-driven brand — and it was everything a corporate escape should be.

From energising workouts with a mountain backdrop to restorative downtime in beautiful bedrooms and shared meals crafted by private chef Dane from Archery and Co, the lodge offered the perfect setting to unwind, reconnect and recharge.

As one guest put it:
“The location offered everything we needed – a large space for presentations, stunning views, ample outdoor space for socialising and fitness activities, beautiful bedrooms, and a spacious kitchen... We couldn’t recommend Lake Hāwea View more.”

While we can’t share photos from the retreat itself, we’ll just leave you with this one so you know where to find us.

Whether you’re planning a team retreat, a wellness focused getaway, or simply a luxurious escape with friends and family, we’d love to welcome you.
