Located in Twizel in the Canterbury region, SkyScape provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub.

The air-conditioned units have a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge, kettle, and a stovetop.

The lodge offers a sun terrace. This property is exactly as described and shown in pictures only better. We loved every minute. The outdoor tub, the night sky with one night even having a slight aurora glow. The Highlander cows who posed for photos. The delicious breakfast that came with the room, the glass bedroom. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners’ mother who stopped to check to make sure we were not lost while out exploring. While the location is a bit remote, that was what we were looking for, and it is a short drive into the town of Twizel and the nearby lavender farm. The Peace Ring was temporarily closed but we could see it from the road. Highly recommend!

Featuring mountain views, Lakestone Lodge in Lake Pukaki features accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Great location at the bottom of Lake Pukaki with awesome view onto Mt. Cook. The property provides super service and is completely off-grid and self sustained. Food was awesome. We loved the star gazing - well educated, super comfy and we saw galaxies with our plain eye.

Three Rivers Lodge is located off the southern banks of Lake Tekapo, in the shadow of New Zealand’s picturesque Southern Alps. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of the lake and surrounding mountains. I loved the location across from the lake. It quiet with unobstructed views. Our host gave us tips on where to go. We appreciated that. The room was cozy and had everything we needed. There was nothing lacking.
