About this Holiday House

Absolute lakefront. Absolute bliss. A hidden haven at the edge of Lake Hawea, New Zealand. Stay a night, a week or longer and enjoy the ultimate retreat. The Black Shack is a classic kiwi bach, nestled amongst native trees with world class mountain and lake views. It is an older property that makes lake views affordable! The main house has two cozy bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a living area complete with fireplace, books and board games as well as Sky TV and Netflix. The third bedroom is a sleep-out separate from the main building. There is a rustic outdoor gas-heated spa bath, a BBQ area and plenty of space to sit and enjoy the view. Please be aware $160 are added on top of the booking for Linen hire & Cleaning.

Special Amenities

This is a unique slice of paradise. There are not many cottages available to rent in such an idyllic spot. You can hear the birds every morning and hear the water of Lake Hawea lapping near the cottage. You truly feel renewed and invigorated after a stay here. Surrounded by native trees, nestled in a corner nook of the lake, John's Creek has its own microclimate. There is open space for kids and adults to run around and bike. It's easy to get your boat in at the marina at Hawea township or with a 4WD directly outside the cottage.

A charming family bach in a great location right on the lake.
Tayla
Absolute favourite place I have stayed in NZ. Everything about this place was amazing and truely exceeded all expectations! House was neat and tidy, had everything we needed and the location was a dream. Waking up to that view would never get old! Easy and friendly hosts to deal with and provided excellent instructions/recommendations. We will 100% be back here!
