Accommodation with a real difference. Choose from the “Observatory Lodge" with it’s adjoining
private sitting room and marble lined ensuite, or the rustic charm of the newly renovated 3 bedroom
historic “Miner's Cottage” with its own private underground goldmine.
Rooms in the
Observatory Lodge are set high in native bush opening out onto expansive decks leading up to the
observatory terrace overlooking the house and bush. Here guests and casual visitors are offered
guided tours of our wonderfully dark southern night sky using the research grade telescope in the
observatory’s rotating dome.
An experience you won’t forget. You may be lucky enough to hear
native Morepork owls and, in season, maybe even Kiwi calling or see our glow worms.
