Grandview Vista - where mountains meet the vines

KaranRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fabulous property with amazing locations! Thank you Andrea and particularly Patrick for all the help. Would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re visiting Wanaka, Lake Hawea, Mount Aspiring National Park, etc while en route to Queenstown.

Two swans glide across a calm lake, creating gentle ripples on the water's surface. The scene is framed by lush trees and the reflection of the nearby chalets in the serene waters, capturing a tranquil moment at dusk.

The Cookhouse - Beachside Hannah’s Clearing, Haast

SarahRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Great house, so roomy perfect place for two families to enjoy a weekend retreat or however long you want. Child friendly, clean and very well equipped. And lastly have to mention the location!!! So quite amazing surroundings. 2 min walk to a really nice beach. We had great success surf casting. And it was so nice lying in bed being able to hear the waves crashing. Jan is wonderful host as well. Was always available when we had questions.

Pure Lakefront, Corner Peak Cottage

晨曦Rating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay! The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, and we especially loved the fireplace, which made the evenings warm and cozy. The view is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best lakefront locations on Lake Hawea. The hosts were also very responsive and friendly, always quick to help with any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and amazing scenery!

Cosy Mountain Cabin with Barrel Sauna Fox Glacier

JoyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lovely stay, enjoyed the sauna and the views of the mountains. Kristy was a lovely host and even had a scrapbook of her family and their involvement and influence in the town which was really interesting context and made us feel like we knew our hosts a little better. We were sad we only stayed one night but it was a great launch point for our hike through the Copeland Valley the following day. The place is also close to the Fox Glacier viewpoint, so we were able to sneak that in before our big day of hiking. If you have time, we also heard the helicopter tours and helicopter-hikes were also fabulous in the area.

Makarora Bach

TomRating, 5 stars1 month ago
One of my absolute favourite stays we’ve found on airbnb. This place is something special, such a wonderful home in such a beautiful location. We drove in from Wānaka and the drive was incredible. The bathtub was a great inclusion, and the kitchen space was really well done with everything you could need. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay somewhere out of the busyness of Queenstown and Wānaka.

Your guide to Haast

All About Haast

The small town of Haast sits at the mouth of the Haast River on the southwest coast of the South Island in New Zealand. Just a few hundred people live in the three settlements that make up Haast. The Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area is so pristine, it’s said to reflect how the terrain looked 200 million years ago.

Haast is remote — mobile phone reception stretches just a few miles outside town, broadband internet is still a novelty, and the nearest big grocery store is two hours away. But, you don’t visit Haast for the buzz of a big city: you come here to enjoy some of New Zealand’s most stunning scenery. In the town itself, you’ll find a few shops, cafes, and restaurants where locally caught whitebait is always on the menu.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Haast

Locals say you can experience all four seasons in New Zealand within the same day, but you’ll always need sunscreen to combat the country’s strong UV rays. Because of the rainforest and wetlands around Haast, it is one of the wettest parts of the country, so be prepared to adjust your route after heavy rain. The township gets an average rainfall of 134 inches a year, so it’s best to pack wet weather gear whenever you visit.

Winter — which, in the Southern Hemisphere, means June through August — is the driest and coldest season, with temperatures hovering just above freezing, and many New Zealand winter sports enthusiasts make their annual pilgrimage to the South Island at this time of year. The summer months of December and January bring mild days, but March through May is probably the best time to visit, when the days are still long and temperatures haven’t yet dropped to winter levels.


Top things to do in Haast

Hiking

The best way for you to explore the natural beauty of Te Wahipounamu is on foot. There are hundreds of hiking trails through the rainforest and wetlands in Mount Aspiring National Park and Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, the two sections of the World Heritage Area closest to Haast. Some are multi-day treks that involve camping in the forest; others can be as short as a 10-minute stroll to see a picturesque view.

Jet Boats

The shallow glacial rivers of the Waiatoto and Haast are ideal for jet boats. Tours take you up into Mt. Aspiring National Park, getting views only seen from the water. Some of the boats have all-weather roofing, making it possible to take to the rivers year round. Trained guides help make 360s in the fast-flowing water fun rather than scary.

Heli-trips

Only from the air do you get the chance to see the expanse and majesty of Te Wahipounamu. Helicopter flights can take you to the glaciers of Mount Hooker or the hanging lakes and cascading waterfalls of the backcountry. A hop along the South Westland coast gives you a chance to spot dolphins in the Tasman Sea.
