The views here are truly spectacular, and the genius way they have spaced out the cottages means you feel like you're the only ones for miles! This is truly one of the most unique places you will ever stay. The space is small but perfectly designed; cozy places to sit, a tiny kitchenette and lovely bathroom are all you really need besides a big soft bed. You can even enjoy a big outdoor tub under the stars! Be aware - when the sun comes up you will cook a bit; recommend after enjoying the stars from bed the night before that you pull the window shades to protect from the sun in the morning. The hosts kindly leave eye masks in the bathroom which I used the second night and slept much better! Bring some wine with you and enjoy the unique atmosphere at Skyscape. We stayed here during our time visiting Lake Tekapo and found ourselves not wanting to leave! It is about an hour drive to Tekapo.

We had a fantastic time staying at this sustainable accommodation. The perfect location gave us a luxurious and private experience with quick access to the sky. The hosts were amicable and provided everything we needed, including a delicious breakfast to start our day. However, I should mention that we stayed in the middle of January, and during the day, the apartment became too hot, even with the air conditioning on. Despite this, we are excited to go back soon.

A perfect stay in a wonderful location. We felt completely private and isolated and relished the gorgeous outlook. We loved having an outdoor bath at the end of the day. The indoor facilities were excellent too, a great shower and well equipped mini kitchen. We bought simple food from the supermarket in Twizel which could be cooked on the hob and ate at home both evenings of our stay. The view was too good to bother going elsewhere. The only thing lacking was a bowl to put salad in. But it was ok, we used the saucepan instead.

Stepped into a secluded simple world of rest and relaxation. Bevan, Bridget and Jason have set up and provide for a boutique nomadic experience...come and go as you want. Our adult kids stayed in another lodge and had the best time. Highlights - bathing outside in a hot tub watching the clouds rolling over the distant mountains; a couple of hours later lying on the ground with a throw rug and pillow watching the milky way spiral overhead; driving to nearby Lake Pukaki with its turquoise waters and seeing the fantastic lenticular cloud patterns.

Magical, just magical. Sleeping under the stars in a big warm cozy bed, watching the sunrise without leaving the same spot - heaven. We enjoyed 2 nights at SkyScape for my wife’s birthday. We relaxed and chilled and enjoyed the platters for our evenings so didn’t have to leave paradise. The outdoor bath was beautiful, just a perfect place to chill and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

top rate place. I got to photograph my first milky way and was so excited. The hot tub was great. The place has everything- didn’t notice it was off grid. we stayed 2 nights and lived the view over the paddocks and tussock. Very warm. Wish I could have stayed awake all night. Next time we will set alarms! Stay, it’s unique, the stars are amazing, the platter lasted more than 2 nights as was so huge. Thank you.

We loved our night at Skyscape and only wish we had more time to spend there. The room was spacious and warm, and we felt like we were miles from anywhere. If we had neighbours they were a long way from us and we felt totally private. The rooms have extensive blinds (including for the roof) if you want to draw them. We were able to park our car right next door to the unit which was great. We took our Nespresso machine with us and that worked fine. I'd suggest a four wheel drive vehicle in winter as we awoke to fresh snow outside. Really magical. Our hosts were very helpful and easy to deal with.

Great venue, very private. Enjoyed the outdoor bath both nights, which were clear. The champane, cheese, and nibbles worked well, and we added to it for the second night. Great waking up to the sunrise. room was easily kept warm even with a 7 deg frost one night.

Feeling disappointed as we drove up in unbelievable fog - changed to total excitement as we got above the fog line just minutes from our destination - the view was stunning, snow capped mountains above the fog. It kept changing every few minutes! our hosts had attended to every amenity and we wanted for nothing. Total peace and privacy. The out door tub is a must even in below zero temperatures, with a magical night sky (and the champagne stays chilled!) Highly recommended.
