    The walk to the toilets was a while from the glamp bell tents. The site isn't lit with lamps, so you may need to take your torch or phone light.

    Loved the bell tent. We arrived later in the evening and so the staff had already put the heater on in our glamp tent, so thoughtful. It was warm when we arrived, and the powered plugs were so good to charge our phones, and keep our electric blankets on, as was a cold night ahead. The outside kitchen was 20m from our tent and had a fridge, kettle, toaster and tea/coffee/sugar. Sun rise on the lake was epic and we loved the private beach like setting for the evening too. Beautoful bird sounds awoke me in the morning - such a greata experience and I will be back to try the mini lakehome. Thank you for a great stay.

    Mayb a lighted signpost at d entrance towards the camp would b good as the main road is quite dark at night and its hard to find the entry. Toilets also could have been a little cleaner.

    Wonderful accomodation by the lake. Their staff were superbly helpful providing alot of info and help when d road was closed towards Fox Glacier.

    Shared facilities were okay, a bit smelly and didn't feel overly clean. When I went to the women's shower block, there was a man in there with his wife which made things a bit uncomfortable I needed to leave and go to another block.

    Our lakeview cabin had gorgeous views. It was small but made it cosy and warm. Comfy bed and pillow too! Highly recommend.

    Love the location at Lake Hawea and the multiple types of accommodation depending on needs, wants and budget. Love love loved the live music on Sunday and the fact that there's a food truck for dinner on site with amazing burgers and pizza. And loved that the Secret Sauna is on the property as well, I didn't realise that what I booked both (thought they're just in the same town, not that I could walk back to my room afterwards).

    No crockery or utensils in the kitchen. No problem if you have a car, but we are cycling and not carrying them.

    Great site and quite sheltered from very strong NW. Nice big cabins with seats outside, and a great paint job!

    Maybe add mosquito nets to communal area windows

    The Camp is in the most beautiful place, I'm so glad we stayed here rather than in wanaka. The lake is absolutely stunning, cold but we still went for a dip. The literal only downside was the mozzies in the showers, as people had left the door open/lights on.
