STAY

Luxury retreats and holiday homes in Lake Tekapo & Twizel

Every property, chosen – never generic. A handpicked portfolio, each home somewhere we would want to stay ourselves.

CURATED STAYS

Chosen for light, silence and view

We don’t list every house in the Mackenzie. We choose homes for their setting, their light, their silence and their view – then prepare each one to an exacting standard before every arrival. Two collections, one promise: you arrive, and everything is simply right.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Questions about staying with us

Should I stay in Lake Tekapo or Twizel?

 

Lake Tekapo suits guests who want lake views, the Dark Sky Project and a village atmosphere. Twizel is quieter, about 45 minutes south, and closer to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Many guests split their stay between the two.

 

What is the minimum stay?

 

Two nights, unless a different minimum is shown for your dates.

 

Can I see the stars from the property?

 

All our homes are within the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve. On a clear night the Milky Way is visible with the naked eye.
