Pure Lakefront. Corner Peak Cottage

Uninterrupted lake views await your next very special getaway. This retreat is a perfect blend of luxe and retro in an architecturally designed 1960's Cottage nestled in outstanding natural beauty. There is nothing between you and the spectacular lake view apart from some deep breaths and some down time. * This is the best view in Lake Hawea and some say in the whole area! * Lake Hawea Hamlet is the "new to be discovered", quieter and more picturesque sister of Wanaka. Fresh air awaits!
