Beautifully-appointed cottage accommodation with private wood-fired hot tub, just 17km from Twizel or 50-minutes from Aoraki Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo. The gorgeous cottage is situated at the base of the Ben Ōhau mountain range with spectacular alpine views and everything you need for a rejuvenating stay. It’s an ideal base to explore the incredible Mackenzie Region and soaking in the wood-fired hot tub under the sparkling stars of a dark sky reserve is the perfect way to finish the day! Quick capsule review and key features: > 2-bedroom cottage on 10-acres (ideal for 2 but can accommodate 4) > Private wood-fired hot tub, perfectly placed for privacy and stargazing > Full kitchen + BBQ > Mountains and lakes on your doorstep > Incredible views by day and night > Ideal for stargazing, located in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, which has some of the purest, darkest night skies in the world! > 50-minutes to Aoraki Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo > 2.5 hours from Queenstown International Airport and 4 hours from Christchurch International Airport > Minimum 2-night stay to ensure a good work/life balance for our family but please message us if you're on a tight itinerary or budget and we'll see what we can do
