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.

    The location is really discrete that makes the entire experience private. We have everything we need in the glass house. The owner is helpful when we get stuck with the snow. Would definitely revisit!
