While the daylight hours are lengthening, winter’s not quite over yet – so why not lean in with a scenic local getaway? Unwind in a Kaikōura treehouse, a cliffside luxury cabin near Wellington, a Twizel mountain lodge or a pared-back hut (with all the creature comforts) near Raglan

A remote cottage with a toasty fireplace and architecturally designed skylights. A glass cabin with a supersized outdoor bathtub. A luxurious lodge by a mountainous lake. These tranquil, remote locations are some of the best ways to enjoy Aotearoa’s sparkling starscape.

The small plot of land has been serving the local community for 20 years – not just with fresh organic produce, but by hosting concerts, bush kinder, yoga sessions and live mic nights. But on Saturday it’ll serve its last customers.
