• Dominik (8/5): Fajne doświadczenie z oglądania gwiazd z łóżka - Ogromnym plusem była lokalizacja z potencjałem na oglądanie nieba w nocy. Prywatny parking, wygodne łóżko, fajny prysznic z dobrym ciśnieniem. Darmowe śniadania. Cena wygórowana jak za jakość i ilośc udogodnień. Sam obiekt ma swoje lata.
• jane (10/5): - Everything it's beautiful the scenery is out of this world
• David (10/5): -
• Anusha (10/5): Must experience stay! - SkyScape is a one of a kind stay. The place was beautiful and very comfortable. 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 :)
• Arieh (9/5): Amazing experience in a breathtaking place - Amazing place. Exceptional view. Very comfortable. Breakfast replacement after first night
• Erica (10/5): Peaceful and unique experience! Highly recommend. - Amazing experience at SkyScape. The lodge was perfect. So peaceful, amazing star sightings, and the amenities were great (healthy local goods for breakfast, fabulous spa tab outside). We enjoyed it very much, highly recommend! Short drive into town for restaurants etc. Nothing.
• Peter (10/5): Une expérience unique et magique ! -
• Avinoam (10/5): SkyScape, an unforgettable and truly unique experience - My 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.
• Hardeep (10/5): -
• Alex Stevenson-Slack (9/5): Memorable, delightful stay - The 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!
• Trevor (10/5): Private, romantic getaway in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful regions. - Incredible views and privacy. The outdoor bathtub was a highlight. Nothing! Loved this place.
• Tassaporn (10/5): -
• Heidjerdeern (10/5): - The 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. 🤷‍♀️
• Oscar (10/5): A truly unique experience and was one of the highlights of our holiday. - Fantastic facility and location. Nothing.
• Sheila (10/5): Best lodging ever. - Best experience. If you can, stay here. Wish we could have stayed longer! Having to leave 😢

• Jen (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Out of this world - Exceptional experience, the star gazing was incredible The Cabin was beautiful Nothing
• Nancy (10/5): Heaven in New Zealand - Tranquil heavenly location. Everything was provided for us so we could just stay and enjoy relaxing during the day and stargazing at night Everything was perfect
• Carine (9/5): Great place to stay and rest, we loved it! - Outside bath is awsome! The room is very well organized and decorated. The moon was almost full and too shiny, lot of light.
• Brad (10/5): -
• Karine (9/5): -
• Anusha (10/5): Worth for every penny spent!!! - Awesome Accomodation with wonderful Views,Best Escape from the busy lives to immerse ourselves in complete peaceful,so close to nature.Star glazing at night is must experience.
• Andres (10/5): - The 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!

• Gregoire (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Absolutely amazing! - 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! Nothing
• Lorraine (8/5): Very good - The location and the stars ✨
• Hardik (10/5): awesome -
• Angelika (10/5): Simply perfect - We (Swiss and Germany) met on the Abel Tasman Track in New Zealand in October 1988. We have never been back to the country since. 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!
• Dana (10/5): Peaceful stay in a one-of -a -kind place! - The view was incredible. Nothing

• Leafa (10/5): I love everything about this place. Very comfortable and relaxing. They have everything that you need in there and the h - I love everything about this place. Very comfortable and relaxing. They have everything that you need in there and the highlight of my stay there will be the bath tub outside at night looking up at the stars it’s just amazing. Nothing
• Brett (10/5): Exceptional -
• Harris (10/5): This accommodation was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand. - It was an awesome location, well designed for comfort and relaxing. It was also close to restaurants and shops if you want to drive into town. Easy check in and check out and great communication on how to find it. Nothing - very impressed
• Walden (10/5): A magical experience that helped us both feel totally replenished and at peace. - The stars, the views, the bathtub, the comfortable bed and pillows, the peace and quiet—literally everything about this amazing place
• Kim (10/5): Fantastic experience - The scenery is amazing. If you come here, you will have an unforgettable experience. 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!
• Fidelma (10/5): A perfect way to celebrate something special or just to take time out. - It’s perfection, peace and tranquility in a very comfortable environment. View, bed, outside bath, platters and salad, all excellent.

• B4itravel (10/5): Cant wait to return - Stars stars stars
• Kaushik (10/5): Exceptional - The comfort, the awesome tub, the isolation, the dark sky, the unique experience. Bugs outside were mildly annoying, but that comes with the experience of staying so far off grid.
• Vera (10/5): Exceptional - The location is really discrete that makes the entire experience private. We have everything we need in the glass house. The owner is helpful when we get stuck with the snow. Would definitely revisit!

• 재원 (10/5): Great experience! - it is well managed accommodation and we could see how the two owner have been diligently managed the property. The outdoor bathtub is great! having a bath in the middle nowhere is amazing experience. nothing
• Hugh (9/5): lovely isolation. - a microwave would be appreciated (unless there is a good reason not to have it), as it is so common as to be expected.
• Corinne (10/5): fantastic experience - absolutely beautiful setting, fantastic customer service from the very first enquiry 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 :)
• Rogers (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mountstevens (10/5): Magical - uniqueness
