    Amazing experience that made us travel to another dimension! The place was very accessible yet with a perfect view to the mountains and the sky. The tour was a good mix of technical information about stars and tips to identify constellations, coupled with many stories about beliefs and cultural interpretations. Seeing them through the telescope was fascinating. The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, physical and philosophical. We loved the hot chocolate and warm blankets - you could see they wanted us to feel comfortable! We’d love to go back another time of the year to see more stars and maybe do the wine tasting this time. Thank you and all the best!

    Absolutely loved our stargazing tour over Easter long weekend! We were SO lucky and had a perfectly clear night with unbelievable visibility. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, and showed us 3-4 different constellations and stars through the telescope, and also the moon which rose up mid tour. A couple of shooting stars and satellites topped it off. Blankets and yum hot chocolate were also provided. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks team

    This was absolutely the BEST experience! We came just to see the Southern Cross as we live in the northern hemisphere and have never seen it before. The astronomer answered all our questions and told in great detail about the history and future of our galaxy. We saw the jewel box, the three brightest stars, and the stars in Orion. The check-in process was quick and easy. The hot chocolate was delicious and the clouds stayed away for a perfect night of stargazing. This is a MUST SEE!
