This is an experience that you should not pass up if you’re in the South Island. While there are accommodations elsewhere as well as the wonderful dark sky reserve, this is a unique experience at a great price that provides you the same view of the beautiful Southern Hemisphere’s evening sky. My husband and I stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed being able to stargaze from the comfort of a warm bed each night. We were doing a lot more outdoor activities in this area so we weren’t looking for a high class hotel—this place satisfied our needs and did the job perfectly. Thank you Peter!
