Reviewed Sep 7, 2026This was a unique experience for us. The setting and the feeling of luxury in the wilderness was fantastic.
The rain but there is nothing you can do about that.

Reviewed Aug 5, 2026Skyscape is exceptional. The glasshouse is thoughtfully set up with all you will need, including binoculars! We stayed 2 nights and loved the views, the sunset, the stars, sunrise, moonrise and even enjoyed the outdoor hot tub in the chilly 2 degree NZ sunshine. We highly recommend Skyscape.

It was unfortunate that we had a cloudy night but I am sure on a clear night, it would have elevated our experience. The staff are very friendly and ready to accommodate our requests. We had a great stay and would definitely like to come back for our starry night experience :)

Reviewed Dec 14, 2025My wife and I had an amazing time at Skyscape in Twizel. It is by far the best private accommodation we have ever stayed in. The concept is truly unique and unlike anything else — it allows you to connect with nature while enjoying luxury, comfort, and total privacy. We loved waking up to the stunning blue and red skies in the morning and spending the night under a dark sky filled with countless stars. The experience is perfectly designed to combine nature with a very high level of comfort and convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Skyscape to anyone visiting Twizel. It is a truly special place.

Reviewed Dec 2, 2025The views. The outdoor bath. The overall finish of the property. The attention to detail. Had such a comfortable and memorable stay to celebrate a birthday. Such a cozy bed and so relaxing being so remote.
Nothing that anyone could do but we had a cloudy night so couldn't see the stars. We'll just have to come back and pray for clear skies!

Reviewed Nov 22, 2025The Skysape is a more than exceptional place to stay. If you like to stay in an absolutely secluded location, this is the place for you. I was very lucky to be able to experience a breathtaking starry sky on two out of three nights. And the light rain on the third night only provided a different kind of feel-good atmosphere. A pleasure to hear absolutely nothing, except a few bird calls. The equipment is TOP and the view of the wide plain almost meditative. I loved my stay here very much.

Reviewed Jul 17, 2025The glass cabin was beautiful! Loved the privacy and remoteness of it. It was comfortable and peaceful, a perfect getaway.
This was out of the property’s control, but the amount of thick and dense fog was unfortunate. We only had a few moments of clear views and sunlight. We were excited to see the Pelennor Fields, but saw very little of them. Again, no fault of the property! Perhaps it would be best to visit not in the start of winter. Nevertheless, no regrets and would definitely return!

Reviewed Feb 24, 2025This 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!

Now, as retirees, we were able to realise our dream of another long trip. Skyscape was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! The view, the stars, the full moon, the cheese and sausage platter, it doesn't get any better than this! Thank you for the wonderful time and the memories we can take with us!

Due to a delay in our plans, it was quite difficult to enter after the sun set, even though there was a YouTube guide and a map. I think it would be more convenient to find the way if there was a signboard with a car recognition sensor. Of course, the most important thing is to make sure to arrive in time for check-in!

this probably would not be an issue at all to someone without important plans the following day…. so maybe just a note of something to remember to bring. there was no conditioner in the shower. I found some shampoo in the draw but being the night before my wedding I was a little disappointed at not being able to wash my hair. that said, if it was important to me I should have brought it myself. but just a note for future guests to bring their own :)
