The little cabin I stayed in was great and had fab facilities within it and the best view of the lake. The bathroom facilities could have done with being updated

Glamping!
We had a good, comfortable glamping experience at Lake Hawea. The tent was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the area is beautiful. Check in was easy and friendly. The heated mattresses were definitely a bonus!

Amazing views
We stayed in the tiny house on the lake. It was fantastic. The view was unbelievable. It had a full kitchen and large fridge. It was small but very comfortable. There was no bathroom in the cabin but the shared bathroom facilities were close by and there was a very clean porta potty closer by. We were there for 2 nights and wish we had more time to stay there.

Fun glamping experience!
Will definitely stay here again! Beautiful location on the lake and only a 5min walk to town. The bell tent was very comfy and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed including a refrigerator, and the bathrooms and showers were great. We loved swimming in the lake, having dinner by the fire pit, and grabbing a latte from the food truck in the morning.

Decent campsite with glamping style tents
I will only comment on the glamping tents as that’s where we stayed.
Good standard, perhaps over-priced for the standard.
Friendly staff and good service.
Showers on site were of a good standard Glamping tent area had a gas grill and washing up point, a central fire pit and a games tent.
All in positive

This place was exactly what we saw online and the staff were lovely. What an awesome way to spend the afternoon overlooking the lake with a quick (freezing) dip in the lake then kicking back relaxing.
