“Kamana Lakehouse wins you over with views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables from nearly everywhere, including the exclusive hot tubs; construction nearby is a temporary blip. The Nest Kitchen + Bar's local focus caps off a relaxing stay that feels both indulgent and connected to the landscape; I would gladly return.”
