Leave the light pollution of the city behind for clear, dark skies and spectacular views
Whether you think the night sky is beautiful, mysterious, calming or all of the above, the very best place to experience it is in the Mackenzie Country. So, when we wanted to source a dreamy couple’s weekend away, complete with luxury relaxation and star-gazing in comfort, we knew exactly where to look.
Mackenzie Country has some of the purest night skies in the world. And that’s official, team. The International Dark Sky Reserve Association describes the night-time views over Aoraki Mackenzie as clear, dark and spectacular. Naturally, we had to share this with you.
Gift the experience of taking it all in from the comfort of a luxurious glass-domed cabin. Sit back and relax on the king-sized bed with a glass of local bubbles. Or on warm nights, soak, sip and star-gaze in the outdoor hot tub.
This is a truly world-class experience in New Zealand’s backcountry, just waiting to be discovered.
Sip some bubbles as you sink into the outdoor hot tub and soak up the views.
Dark Skies & Starstruck Nights includes:
- Luxury couple’s escape
- 2 nights in a private Skyscape Villa
- Star-gazing in the glass-roofed king-size bedroom
- Complimentary bottle of bubbles
- Luxury cedar outdoor bath
- Gourmet arrival platter
- Handmade chocolates
- Gourmet continental breakfast
- Free wifi
Your Stay
__________
Once you see the luxurious comfort of the SkyCabin you won’t want to look any further.
Well, until night falls, and then there’s THAT view.
The glass dome above your king-size bed gives you an uninterrupted vista of the heavens. The room is sunken into the ground, so when you’re lying in bed you’re actually at ground level. It makes it feel like you’re lying out in the open, gazing up at the stars.
Each self-contained cabin is nestled in its own secluded spot amongst native scrub and tussockland. If you want to, you can stroll amongst the flocks of sheep on this High-Country station.
Guests love...
The cedar bathtub sunken into the courtyard. It’s 2m long and filled with pure spring water, heated to the perfect temperature for relaxation.
