Does anyone know about this rural retreat?

I can't reach them via email coz gmail said address did not exist. I'm considering planning a trip to the observatory at the end of January after reading some reviews on the forum. More suggestions will be highly appreciated!

Plz let me know if you guys are familiar with this place :D

Thanks in advance!

Hi Michael,

I am not sure that Zane is still running the 'tours' at the observatory. Send him a PM here, he is astroboy on IIS. or try: zhammond@activ8.net.au

Hi Michael and thanks Matt
The cottage is no longer available , I can't seem to get rid of the website its shown on.
I hire out the observatory's 24" to people experienced in using telescopes and they can stay in the observatory building which has 2 x king sized single beds , cooking facilities etc a bit rustic but sure beats camping . I also sometimes do Sky Tours using the 24" for a flat rate $100 for up to 6 people or so.
My email as Matt says is zhammond@activ8.net.au or phone 02 48494489

Thanks
Zane

Relieved to hear that Zane, I was planning to sort out a new moon hire some time this year with a friend but thought from the post above that you might have shut up shop completely.

The bedding arrangements sound fine to me!
