On the shores of Lake Hawea, just 15 minutes from Wanaka, Lake Hawea Station is a BCorp working sheep and cattle farm committed to combating climate change and building biodiversity - they’ve set themselves the ambitious goal of 10 times carbon positivity in 10 years - and are well on the way to achieving this.
Lake Hawea Station’s inspirational owners have opened their property to guests with a choice of self-contained accommodation options for couples, friends and families – and, happily for guests of Lake Hawea Station, a commitment to sustainability does not compromise comfort.
Guests have a choice of accommodation options: the two-bedroom ‘Packhorse Cottage’ – a former shepherd’s hut reimagined, the compact and cosy ‘Homespur Cottage’ that enjoys lake and mountain vistas, or ‘Little L’ – an off-grid tiny home with big views. A have a full kitchen, private outdoor spaces and thoughtful touches to make guests feel right at home; each one is a sanctuary of serenity in New Zealand’s spectacular Southern Alps.


Hearty breakfast provisions and delicious BBQ dinner hampers can be provided and Wanaka’s world-class dining options are only a short drive away; but the real highlight here is to ‘dine in an edible paddock’ enjoying locally sourced and station foraged ingredients with the chef in Lake Hawea Station’s great outdoors.
Resident guides invite guests to connect with nature through high-country outdoor adventures – on foot, e-bike, ATV or by 4WD drive. See regenerative farming in action or contribute to the property’s conservation efforts; enjoy guided stargazing, mountain-top dining and outdoor yoga; try your hand at fishing or simply enjoy the unhurried pace and untamed surrounds. . Queenstown adventures are also just 90 minutes from Lake Hawea Station.

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
