FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • A private stargazing and cocktail experience in your own backyard. We bring the telescope, the spirits, the storytelling.

  • Depending on the night, we’ll view planets like Saturn or Jupiter, the Moon in vivid detail, star clusters, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects. Cloud cover or poor visibility may limit viewing — but we continue the experience with storytelling, cocktails, and cosmic conversation.

  • While Sydney does have areas of light pollution, especially in the CBD, we operate primarily in suburban areas where conditions are noticeably better. Our high-powered telescope is designed to cut through city light and still deliver stunning views of the Moon, planets like Saturn and Jupiter, and bright deep-sky objects. You’ll be surprised by how much is still visible, even from your own backyard.

  • The standard session lasts approximately 1.5 - 2 hours, including guided telescope viewing and multiple cocktails. We’ll arrive about an hour beforehand to set up.

  • To fully enjoy the night, we recommend treating the experience as a complete, uninterrupted journey. Your first round of cocktails will be served within the first 10–15 minutes, with the second round arriving about 30–40 minutes later. The storytelling and telescope viewing are woven throughout — so there are no formal breaks. For that reason, we suggest having dinner before or after the session, as food is not served during the experience.

  • We currently cater for up to 10 guests per session, which allows for an intimate and immersive experience.

  • We offer a curated list of classic cocktails (e.g., Old Fashioned, Negroni, Margarita) prepared fresh on-site. Non-alcoholic options are available by request. Please see our menu for more details.
