Perched on the slopes of the Ben Ohau Range, inside the Aoraki International Dark Skies Reserve, SkyScape features 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 6.2 mi 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.
