Booked this place especially to be remote and in dark skies (I even brought a telescope to capture the magic). I spent several weeks traveling all over the South Island and this was my absolute favorite place of all! It was remote, clean, modern, and cozy! I will absolutely come back to this place on future travels to New Zealand. It was also beyond magical because I was able to clearly marvel at the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) from here!!! If you are looking for a quiet out of the way place with dark skies and easy access to the Aoraki / Mount Cook area this is your choice! Make sure to take time to enjoy the night sky from here...it is beyond stunning!
