"Set within the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, this remote retreat offers four Tuscan-inspired villas facing Lake Pukaki with large windows and outdoor hot tubs for nighttime viewing, plus a purpose-built wine cellar that doubles as an astronomical observatory with a six-inch refractor and retractable roof. Guests can book curated 'Billion Star Dining' experiences, attend astrophotography workshops, and enjoy walking trails and wellness activities against a backdrop of alpine peaks." - Megan Eaves
