Reviews of Stargazers Astronomy Tours & B&B
A.
Had a great experience. Would have loved to see some planets too but the universe has control of such matters! Didn't stay there so cannot comment on accommodation.
H.
If you’re interested in space, you must join the tour definitely. The guide and the host of the stargazing tour Alastair was a nice passionate man.
When we visited, moon was little too bright, so hard to see many stars but still it was beautiful. We saw clear Jupiter through the scope.
The tour took about 2.5 hours. You should prepare comfortable shoes and a warm jacket. And be careful of winding road driving in the night if you’re not staying the B&B.
M.
This review is for the astronomy tour only; we would have loved to stay here but was already booked up by the time we found it and for good reason! The lodge is nestled into the hills and we weren’t sure what to expect walking up to the property. Alastair greeted us excitedly upon our arrival to see the rings on Saturn. His back patio is situated with its own sort of planetarium with a huge scope in an enclosed dome. We saw some planets, galaxies, different types of stars and constellations, as well as a satellite. Alastair is so enthusiastic about astronomy which made the tour really incredible. He also has a very impressive collection of different objects in his lab. We got a wee peek of the B&B while on the tour and it looked really beautiful with incredible woodwork and great art. Would love to come back sometime!
N.
Thoroughly enjoyed the very personal approach we received. We were there for an extra (free) hour due to the relaxed and friendly way the tour of the sky was conducted. It was more like having received a personal invitation to his home. We had a perfectly clear night with no moon which made the star gazing superb, especially with such a powerful telescope. Would go again as there is so much more to discover.
S.
Excellent! Alistair is very knowledgeable and good humoured. A great exploration of the stars with anecdotes and context throughout. Give yourself a bit of extra time to find the location in the Coromandel’s winding roads.
C.
It was good at first but I wish we got more time looking into the telescope and less time being lectured. We were there for 2.5 hours but only got to look at 4 things in the telescope. Alistair is very passionate about astronomy which really comes across. I would have really enjoyed more time looking at the stars, instead of things like a 20 minute lecture explaining why the moon landing was real and not faked.
H.
Awesome fabulous. The hosts are fabulous. Put on your bucket list. The tour is fabulous and the breakfast are awesome.
d.
Fantastic experience learning about and viewing southern constellations while keeping an eye out for satellites, with a few fun practical activities as a bonus. Alistair is very passionate and knowledgeable
Be aware this can go for over 2 hours
r.
Incredible man with deep knowledge and patience. You will learn so many cool things to share with your friends and family. You even get to hold a space rock older than our Earth. Take the opportunity for a professional astronomy tour from Stargazers.
D.
Absolute pleasure, Alastair has a wealth of knowledge and is happy to share. Was lucky enough to see the rings of Saturn and 2 moons of Jupiter. Consider myself very fortunate
H.
Fabulous place add to your bucket list. Fabulous hosts fabulous breakfast. We had a perfect nightsky for viewing. Lucky to have Mars Saturn Jupiter and Venus in line and lots of other amazing things. Alistair our guide was very knowledgeable.
A.

L.
Fantastic experience!! Alastair is very knowledgeable about the stars and passionate about sharing all he knows. I highly recommend this tour!!
V.
It was my birthday and my family organised this tour for me.
I loved every bit of the experience and leant things like the satellite travels around the world in just 90 minutes, fascinating isn't it?
Alistair, thank you for a wonderful experience.
H.
