A great place to land for a snack break under the eye of Mount Cook
An awesome airport for seeing lots of USAF aircraft involved in Operation Deep Freeze regular visitors throughout summer are C-17, C-5 and C-130.
What used to be a little aerodrome has now got a lot bigger. A variety of aircraft from warbirds to helicopters operate from this airport daily.

They will cater for you up there.
My route took us from CHC to the Westcoast, past the glaciers and Mt Cook to this nice place. You need to ring ahead.

Thanks SkydivingNZ for permission for a quick in-and-out on your strip.

First trip here for me was on a cross country trip for my PPL on 6 Feb 2003 in a Piper Cherokee PA-28-140, ZK-CUY.
It was a dual trip with Anushka Painter. Corrie and Jordan came along for the ride.
I remember there being an onshore breeze requiring a good crosswind landing - the seal is only 10m wide.

A sealed and grass strip conveniently close to Twizel, and great little town in the Mackenzie Basin. My first landing here was in an Robin Alpha 2160 ZK-RBN on 30 December 2003, a few days after getting my rating for this aircraft. My father was my passenger, and we enjoyed calm and clear weather on a great cross country outing from our home base of the Canterbury Aero Club at Christchurch. We carried on from Pukaki to Omarama airfield (NZOU), then down the Waitaki Valley for a stop at Timaru Airport (NZTU), and then home to Christchurch.

Actually, just remembered that I made a number of dual flights from Wigram in an RNZAF Airtrainer way back in 1982, but they were all dual, so don't really count.
First landing here late 2006 - precautionary landing after experiencing a total electrical failure.
Winter 05 in an Archer
I first landed here in ZK-RBN on 31 Dec 05.

Hi, is the airport closed to international arrivals today? Due snow?
