Skylark Cabin NZ

14/06/2026

Recently National Geographic visited the Mackenzie Basin to tell the story of one of the world’s rarest birds- the remarkable Kaki- Black Stilt.

It was an experience about sharing a landscape we care deeply about, and helping shine light on a species found nowhere else on 🌍Earth.

For us, this story captures what makes the Mackenzie Country so extraordinary— vast landscapes, rare wildlife and the feeling of venturing into somewhere truly special.

We’re honoured to see it shared with readers around the world through National Geographic. Read the full article below 🙂

A huge thank you to Luxury Collections & Mackenzie NZ for making this story possible ❤️

We have made the list for the cosiest cabins in New Zealand! Click the link in the story below to see the full list.

'The Best Cosy Cabins in NZ for a Winter Getaway' promises this article from nzherald.co.nz: https://bit.ly/44e07PT. We're pleased that three from the Mackenzie Region made the list!
Skylark Cabin NZ, Isolation Bay, and SkyScape.

As the days grow shorter and the mountains don their snowy caps, winter reveals a whole new side of Aotearoa.

Think glacial lakes, frosty mornings, and the cosy comfort of a fire-lit cabin. From off-grid hideaways with steaming outdoor tubs to sleek, stargazing sanctuaries, these hand-picked stays offer the perfect mix of style, sustainability, and soul-soothing escape.
