Once again, it’s all about the view!!! Though that is not to down play the refined luxury, the impeccable service, the devine cuisine and… the fly fishing.

Mount John Observatory

While the southern hemisphere winter months tend to be the best time to see the aurora australis, we visited the Dark Sky Project in New Zealand’s Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve in late February and were rewarded with one of the best light shows seen in years.

Sky Scape

New Zealand’s South Island is a land of superlatives, awash in natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. The Aoraki Mount Cook region, midway between Queenstown and Christchurch, is doubly blessed – by day, there are spectacular mountains, imposing glaciers and impossibly aquamarine lakes, and by night, the world’s largest dark sky reserve delivers spellbinding views of the Milky Way and southern hemisphere stars.

With such wonders to behold, why would you not want to avail yourself of these vistas at every opportunity? Enter Skyscape, one of New Zealand’s most stunning boutique stays, a perfectly-proportioned petite villa nestled in the hills near Twizel, built predominantly of glass for astonishing views by day and by night.
