The Hide - Weddings

Our event space as the name suggests is hidden in nature but beside the twinkling Lake Hāwea.

The Hide offers beach access, an inbuilt stone dias, a stone seated area with fireplace, helicopter pad, bathroom, stone and rimu bar. The mountains rise up sharply from the lake making a perfect setting for your moment and memories.

The location has surrounding views with a breathtaking rock face backdrop, as well as the outlook onto Lake Hāwea and South-West onto Mt Maude. We are an easy 30-minute drive from Wanaka town, with two parking areas ready for cars or buses. Boat or helicopter access options are also available. It has space for three Gather & Gold tipis or several sizeable marques.

Award-winning luxury accommodation is available on Lake Hāwea Station. Historic shepherd’s cottages Packhorse and Homespur are available to accommodate a bridal party (sleep up to 10 people) OR The Lake House luxury property (sleeps 8). We are offering a bare land rental with multi-day packages.

Testimonials

“I can't say enough about the location, people and purpose of this amazing place. To say my expectations (in terms of comfort, education and awe) were exceeded feels like the understatement of the century! I *highly* encourage everyone to take advantage of time with Richie and learn while you relax and are rejuvenated! Can't wait to return on my next visit to the South Island!”

“OMG! I'm almost afraid to write this review for fear that publicity may spoil the best kept secret in New Zealand. This place was by far, hands down, my favorite place that we stayed at on our trip (and we stayed at the Huka Lodge as well). Totally in awe of all they do. The cottage was equipped with everything you need for an understated luxury stay, the views were amazing and the team embodied the best of kiwi hospitality. They even made us hotdogs and got us to watch the super bowl in their facility. I'm telling all my friends and family that this is definitely a MUST when they visit the south island”

“We have just spent three nights at Homespur Cottage; it's an idyllic retreat where you can absorb the beauty around you and find peace. Listening to the melodic song of the bell birds in the morning and evenings was magical. I would highly recommend Lake Hawea Station”
