Secluded Starlit Cabin in a Dark Sky Reserve

 The Rise is a private cabin for two in Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve, offering a tranquil, immersive alpine experience. Guests can marvel at the Milky Way, try astrophotography, or join local stargazing tours. The cabin combines wabi-sabi-inspired luxury with nature, nestled beneath the majestic Ben Ohau range. It harmonises with the outdoors using natural materials and earthy tones. Equal parts raw and refined, this retreat offers a seamless blend of rugged elegance and serene comfort. The nearby turquoise waters of Lakes Ōhau, Pukaki, Benmore, and Ruataniwha provide an idyllic backdrop for breathtaking outdoor adventures and peaceful retreats. Built in memory of the creator’s father, its foundations are infused with meaning and memories, imagined as a legacy of togetherness and presence, a place to make time truly count.
