Perched on the slopes of the Ben Ohau Range, inside the Aoraki International Dark Skies Reserve, SkyScape boasts panoramic views of the Mackenzie Country and a unique experience of sleeping under the stars, in a bedroom built predominately of glass. Skyscape is located 10km from Twizel, on Omahau Hill Station, a 6000 acre sheep and beef farm. Guests can hike, take a farm tour or simply enjoy the stunning scenery. Your SkyBed is nestled within native scrub, in a private, isolated location. The property uses solar, gas and a back up generator. A gourmet continental breakfast is provided and can be prepared in a small kitchenette. An optional evening dinner platter with local meat and produce is available on request.

    Cosy cabin in a stunning setting. Large outdoor tub that stayed warm for ages. Very private and tranquil. We had perfect weather for star gazing and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Would happily stay again.

    I love everything about this place. Very comfortable and relaxing. They have everything that you need in there and the highlight of my stay there will be the bath tub outside at night looking up at the stars it’s just amazing.

    It was an awesome location, well designed for comfort and relaxing. It was also close to restaurants and shops if you want to drive into town. Easy check in and check out and great communication on how to find it.
