stayed there recently said: "They had a
lovely breakfast every morning and the lo-
cation was perfect…very easy to get to the
main strip. Also, the owners were very help-
ful in planning any trips in the area."
A glass of champagne on arrival sets the
tone and then it's another short walk up the
hill to the Skyline Gondola ride to the top
of the mountain named, with classic Kiwi
understatement, Bob's Peak. The panoram-
ic views of the town and the lake, Coronet
Peak, The Remarkables, and Walter & Cecil
Peak are perfect selfie backdrops.
It's even better at night when the Skyline
Stargazing tour and Central Otago's clear
skies and low levels of light pollution allow
an awe-inspiring view of the antipodean
night sky, with the Southern Cross visible in
the southeast during February.
