If you, like many, are breathing a sigh of relief that the hectic summer holiday period is over, you might just be in need of a retreat.

Taking full advantage of the location of their family s sheep station in the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Preserve, Bridget and Bevan Newlands were inspired to build accommodation that would feel like lying in the tussocks and gazing up at the stars .

As it was shot during the pandemic, a skeleton crew was utilised to ensure that social distancing measures could be maintained by everyone involved.
