An evening of stars, storytelling and decadence with Horizon Tours and the Fable Hotel.

​

Enjoy a night of Dunedin luxury with one night's accommodation at the Fable Hotel, Dunedin's only 5 star accommodation and a four hour Southern Skies Stargazing tour.

​

Check in at Dunedin's 5 star Fable Hotel which includes valet parking, the Fable's signature welcome tea on arrival and a continental breakfast (for two). You'll be whisked away around 6 o'clock to enjoy the charm and serenity of Dunedin's night sky. Horizon Tours will supply the comfy chairs, blankets and hot beverages (and a light supper) to keep you warm and cosy while marveling at our southern skies. 

​

The Otago Peninsula coastline provides a clear and breath-taking view of the night sky, along with a magical backdrop of coastal bird calls echoing across Hoopers inlet. In the right conditions, this rural coastal area is a prime viewing location for the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis.

​

Our guides will point out celestial points of significance that can be viewed with the naked eye. You can also make use of our Skywatcher telescope (with a maximum practical magnification of 200x ) for a closer look.

​

Listen to stories detailing Māori myths of creation, of how Te Ao Marama – the world of light, the world as we know it, emerged.  Learn about how Māori relied on tātai arorangi (detailed astronomical knowledge) to navigate the ocean, plant crops, and harvest kaimoana (seafood).

​

Enjoy Māori manaakitanga (hospitality) with a light supper and hot beverage. Sit back, relax and be enchanted.
