This unique, glass-roofed cabin is located just 10 minutes from Twizel, New Zealand, and just over seven miles off the Tekapo-Queenstown road set right in the middle of the beautiful rolling hills of the Mackenzie Country landscape. Part of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the area is protected from light pollution by local bylaws, meaning the stars guests see are some of the clearest in the world. Being close enough to town life when wanted, but private and secluded enough to feel like there’s nobody else, this gorgeous escape is in the perfect location.

At under an hour from the property, Tekapo Springs at Lake Tekapo offers outdoor hot pools, ice skating, and snow tubing in the winter, as well as spa treatments at the day spa. Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is great for all sorts of outdoor activities, such as hiking, boat tours, and wildlife tours, as well as ski and snow tours in the winter, and air tours too.

At just under two hours away, more outdoor activities are available in Wanaka, such as a 12,000-foot sky tandem sky dive or ‘funyaking’ on the Dart River. In Omarama, guests can explore the clay cliffs and even experience a glider flight with Glide Omarama. For slightly more relaxed days, Oamaru offers plenty of culture for some sightseeing, and Queenstown and Christchurch offer anything from dining and bars to restaurants and shopping, too.
