★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
