Pedalfish Cottages: Eclipse

Some places are visited.

Others are remembered forever.

Like its namesake, Pedalfish Cottages: Eclipse is a rare experience—an intimate escape where breathtaking landscapes, complete privacy and the world`s clearest night skies come together to create something truly unforgettable.

Set amongst the golden tussocks of the Mackenzie Country, this architecturally designed luxury cottage has been thoughtfully created for couples seeking peace, romance and complete seclusion. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames spectacular mountain views from almost every room, while the outdoor bath, expansive deck and cosy wood fire invite you to slow down and simply enjoy being together.

Wake to snow-capped peaks glowing in the morning sun. Spend your days exploring the Mackenzie region or doing absolutely nothing at all. Read by the fire, soak beneath the open sky, or simply watch the ever-changing colours across the mountains. Thoughtfully designed as a place to reconnect with nature—and each other—Eclipse is intentionally free from television, allowing the landscape, the crackling fire and the night sky to become the entertainment.

Located within the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the stars here are simply extraordinary. With virtually no light pollution, the Milky Way stretches overhead in breathtaking clarity, making Pedalfish Cottages: Eclipse one of New Zealand`s most remarkable places for stargazing. On clear nights, you`ll feel as though you`re standing beneath the universe itself.

Inside you`ll find everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including:

• Fully equipped modern kitchen
• Luxurious queen bedroom with stunning mountain views
• Wood-burning fireplace
• Heat pump and air conditioning
• Fast Wi-Fi
• Outdoor bath beneath the stars
• Private deck with Adirondack chairs
• Complete privacy surrounded by rural Mackenzie landscapes

Whether you`re celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic getaway or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, Eclipse offers something increasingly difficult to find—a place where time slows, nature takes centre stage, and every sunrise, sunset and star-filled evening feels uniquely your own.
