“The stay is perfect for a quiet get-away-from-it-all few days. Deserted beach, comfortable house, wood barbeque. It was a great place to wind down.
We also took advantage of a very unusual feature – an astronomy night. With Bruce’s astronomy expertise, his very large and powerful telescope, and perfect weather his Astrotour was an amazing experience. We saw things in the night sky we had never thought that we would see, from twin stars to far away galaxies (but let’s not give too much away…). Bruce is very friendly and we also had a few laughs looking up and into the night sky.
Highly recommended.”

…. Richard Feb 2021

 

“My wife and I took the astronomy tour with Bruce. Bruce has one of the largest (reflective, Newtonian) telescopes in probably the entire state of Victoria, and it can be used to see faint galaxies and even structures inside other galaxies like the Tarantula Nebula. What you will see through this telescope will be a religious experience and teaches humility about our place in the universe.
Honeysuckles itself is the best place to see the Milky Way and the neighboring galaxies the Magellanic Clouds with the naked eye.
The beach is pristine and over many days you’d be lucky if you see anyone else on the beach.

It is impossible to replicate this experience anywhere else on Earth.”   

…. Edwin (from Singapore) June 2023
