The Perfect Getaway in the Mackenzie Country

3 MIN READ

Seclusion, serenity and all the comforts needed for a getaway, Alpine Cubes NZ is a beautiful cabin in Ben Ohau in the Mackenzie Country. A slice of modern and immaculately crafted paradise in one of Canterbury’s best areas. You’ll find yourself recommending this place to all your loved ones.

Tucked away in the Mackenzie country, this secluded stay blends in well with its surroundings. They’ve managed to put together an amazing space, without taking away from the incredible natural landscape it sits on. This South Island country side is well known for its lakes, mountains and impressive night sky. Alpine Cubes is in Ben Ohau, near the edge of Lake Ohau and just 20 minutes from Twizel. To spend a few nights here is a real treat.

Feel an intense happiness once you’ve settled in. The magic of the genuinely breathtaking environment is soaked up from the comfort of this cabin.

Alpine Cubes oozes luxury in a contemporary, minimal sense. The space is carefully considered with quality finishes, and is sure to put you at ease. Enjoy the cosy and calming space, and venture outside on the odd occasion to soak in the hot tub. You have everything you need for a getaway in the alpine wilderness.

Ready to recharge (yourself, not your devices) and reconnect? Limited phone service and no WiFi means Alpine Cubes ticks the box for a getaway with the sole purpose of switching off. Instead of a nook facing a TV screen, you’ll find the lounge area positioned to face the view outside. Majority of the walls are windows, thoughtfully designed to maximise the mountain scenes. Plus, the lounge ceiling has open sky lights for that ultimate night sky gazing.

The sky is so clear in the heart of the Mackenzie Region that it’s been declared an International Dark Sky Reserve. There’s no better place to peer up at millions of stars and feel small in comparison to the incredible night sky.

The outdoor hot tub is undoubtedly one of the biggest draw cards. Heated by a wood fire that is to be tended to, stoked and maintained, over the course of the day for the perfect hot tub experience in the mountains. Your nearest neighbors are barely in sight and the sounds of the city are non-existent.
