Proud to offer packages with Manuka Skies. Book a night at Aspen and receive a 15% discount on your astro tour.

Come and check out their new site. Such a spectacular spot!

It was my pleasure to do a promotional photo shoot for Manuka Skies earlier this week. We got some great photos and had a blast!
These guys put on an star tour like no other. Their genuine passion, enthusiasm and knowledge for the night sky really shows.
Thanks also to the locals that came up for this with very short notice, you guys were awesome! They really expressed the experience in a photo 😅.

Netflix is now standard in every room 🍿 🎥

Sometimes after a long day of travelling all you want to do is sit down, relax with a bottle of bubbly and put your favourite flick on the tele, or maybe some entertainment to keep the kids occupied!

When you stay with your hosts Brent and Kara, you'll find Netflix loaded and ready to go. No need to bring your own login with you.

Now you can choose from the thousands of titles in the Netflix catalogue and stream until your heart's content.
