HAWEA, QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT, SOUTH ISLAND 

With magnificent views of the surrounding peaks, and a lake to cool off, Lake Hawea offers a welcome respite from the long hot months of summer. In the winter, Lake Hawea can be riffle with strong, cold gusts of wind, but if you’re lucky to visit Hawea on a calm winter’s afternoon, the ominous energy that you’ll find here is unparalleled.
