Should a guest for any reason choose not to have an AstroTour during their stay – even though conditions permitted a Tour, there shall be no refund.
BOOK AN AIRBNB STAY AND DO AN ASTRO TOUR DURING YOUR STAY – GIPPSLAND THINGS TO DO
“Honeysuckles Observatory” Beach house is a beachfront property available for holiday rental on Airbnb, with an “AstroTour Option”. This Option is outside and separate to the Airbnb accommodation rate owing to the discretionary nature of the Astro Tour arrangement.
The beachfront location of this property is a primary objective for most people staying all year round. Once booked, guests are welcome to enquire about an AstroTour while on their visit. There are minimum number of days stay periods at the beach house and daily rates will vary according to time of year. For guests wanting an AstroTour we generally aim for it on the first night of their stay. Guests will pay a discounted $200 for the tour on the night … This is a great all year round getaway holiday experience with an AstroTour possible if conditions permit.
For further enquiries contact Honeysuckles Astronomy Tours and we will be happy to discuss your requirements with you.
