THE DEAL

Cradled beneath the peaks and illuminated by the Dark Sky Reserve, Alpine Cubes is a secluded hideaway set against the dramatic Ben Ohau Range.

Inside, open-plan living unfolds beneath four large skylights that follow the light throughout the day. The kitchen is fully equipped — clean lines, quality finishes, everything in its place.

In the first bedroom, a raised bed frames the mountain range, allowing you to wake to uninterrupted views. An additional bespoke bunk room, with four custom built-in beds and clever suitcase storage, makes hosting easy.

A tiled bathroom for guests, conveniently located and featuring a portrait window that brings the landscape inside.

Step outside and sink into the deep outdoor bath, gazing straight into the sky. At night, it’s stars and silence — protected by the Dark Sky Reserve.

The land is rugged and raw, spanning 2 hectares. The cabin sits as a minor dwelling with scope to add a major home, with services already in place.

Locally anchored yet internationally recognised, this property has strong slow-stay appeal, driving exceptional short-stay performance and securing bookings well in advance.

Well-equipped for accommodation and guests, and almost fully booked through to March 2026, this property offers both rare setting and strong earnings.

Located just off the State Highway between Christchurch and Queenstown — close to Twizel and on the doorstep of Lake Ohau — this is a truly unique chance to secure a high-demand property in one of New Zealand’s most scenic locations.
