Mitchella Farm is beautifully situated on a hill in Hawea Flats. One is near touristy and busy Wanaka, quieter Hawea and very much in nature. The property's beautifully developed and has different B&B accommodations. We had book the Cheeky Rabbit studio, which was renovated for B&B purposes in 2019. It's tiny and lovely and superbly equipped (kitchen, toaster-oven, microwave, kettle, fridge, eating nook with a view...). The bed's fantastic, the shower, too, and the house is so well insulated that we were comfy warm even though temperatures dropped to 10 degrees celcius and we had a window open. Steve met us at arrival and showed us around the studio and the property and dog Beau came to visit several times. We had a lovely stay.

    Quietly located within extensive garden with lot's of trees and birds, giving impression we were in the midst of a forest even though the accommodation was practically located within town. Comfortably appointed, everything one needs for a simple holiday home, abundant space, high quality toiletries, beautiful posters and well-taken photos in living rooms. Excellent selection of TV programmes. Friendly host. PS: This reviewer is biased because he likes nature, trees, birds, gardening, and landscape photography.
