Picnics Under the Night Sky | A Curated Evening at Elysian Hills
Join us for an intimate picnic beneath the open hinterland sky at Elysian Hills.
As twilight fades across the hills, settle into deck chairs or stretch out on picnic blankets and enjoy a relaxed evening in one of the Tweed’s most elevated coastal viewpoints. Guests will be provided with picnic mats, pillows and blankets to ensure a comfortable and relaxed evening under the sky.
Each guest will enjoy a curated picnic selection and one drink on arrival. Enjoy either a wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option, followed by a hot beverage as the evening unfolds.
As darkness settles, our team will guide you through the night sky. Using a staff-operated telescope, guests are personally guided through visible planets, star clusters and seasonal constellations. Rather than navigating equipment themselves, guests are gently led through each viewing for a seamless and enjoyable experience.
We recommend downloading the SkyView® app (available on iOS and Android) before arrival. Simply point your phone toward the sky and it will identify stars, constellations and planets exactly as they appear above you.
With minimal surrounding light and sweeping coastal elevation, Elysian Hills offers a beautiful vantage point for observing the southern hemisphere sky.
Stargazing is weather dependent. In the event of significant cloud cover that limits visibility, the evening will still proceed as a picnic experience and if you would like to return for clearer skies, we will provide you with a $35 return voucher to use toward a future Picnics Under the Night Sky booking.
Wrap up warm, bring someone special, and enjoy a peaceful evening under the night sky.
