Join us for an intimate evening beneath the open hinterland sky at Elysian Hills.
As twilight fades across the hills, settle into deck chairs or stretch out on picnic blankets and enjoy a relaxed evening from one of the Tweed’s most elevated coastal viewpoints. Guests will be provided with picnic mats, pillows and blankets for a comfortable evening under the sky.
Each guest will enjoy a curated grazing box and a drink on arrival, with a choice of wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option. A hot beverage will also be served later in the evening.
As darkness settles, our team will guide you through the night sky using a staff-operated telescope. Guests will be personally guided through visible planets, star clusters and seasonal constellations, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience without needing to navigate the equipment themselves.
We recommend downloading the SkyView® app, available on iOS and Android, before arrival. Simply point your phone towards the sky and the app will help identify the stars, constellations and planets visible above you.
With minimal surrounding light and sweeping coastal elevation, Elysian Hills offers a beautiful vantage point for observing the southern hemisphere sky.
Stargazing is weather dependent. If sky visibility is expected to be significantly limited, the event may be cancelled. Guests will be notified by 12:00pm on the event day and offered either a transfer to another available date or a full refund.
While the event will only proceed where suitable viewing conditions are expected, clear skies and telescope viewing cannot be guaranteed, as weather conditions may change in the hours leading up to the event or during the experience.
Wrap up warm, bring someone special and enjoy a peaceful evening under the night sky.
