Nestled beneath the Southern Alps, this charming town offers perfect stargazing in the Dark Sky Reserve and access to turquoise Lake Pukaki. Rent bikes to explore the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail or take day trips to nearby Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park for spectacular hiking trails.
A lovely welcome by the owners to this 2 year old property.
Appreciated the lift so we didn’t have to lug the suitcase up stairs.
The room was beautiful.
Bed ultra comfy.
The views of the mountain were great. Loved their snow caps.
