SKYLAB is a gem. It's a brilliant setup and really fab place to stay. We're really into space exploration and stargazing, which made SKYLAB extra special. We loved seeing the Milky Way sitting outside and laying in bed watching the stars through the huge skylight.
The location is great for visiting Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki, as well as Mt Cook village. We walked through the Hooker Valley to the foot of Mt Cook and watched the icebergs that had broken off the glacier bob about in the lake. Absolutely stunning.
The coffee and breakfast at the Pink Glider in Omarama was well worth the 15 mins drive down the road from Twizel too. The Jasmine Thai in Twizel was also excellent.
