Stargazing

In the Aoraki Mackenzie Region

Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat is a family-run luxury resort, catering to a maximum of 22 guests. It features its own, purpose-built wine cellar and observatory. As Jacqui Gibson from the New Zealand Herald discovered:

As we step from the wine cellar into the observatory, the roof rolls away providing an enormous open-air window to the night sky. It’s barely a few degrees outside, but that’s not the only reason the clear, dark sky is breathtaking. There are stars everywhere.

Having traveled the North and South Islands, staying at several accommodations, none compared to our stay at Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat! The cottage was elegant in every way! The cuisine superb! The view…breathtaking! The experience…PERFECT! I couldn’t consider a better place for a wedding than on the lawn with that turquoise lake and Mt Cook in the background. Thank you for the personal tour of the southern sky in your observatory/wine cellar! WOW!!! Thank you for making our wedding so amazing.
