Accommodation at the Ranch

If you bring your family you might want to consider staying at the main ranch.


The main buildings of the ranch are located some 2.5 km from the observatory. Should you need transport for shuttling back and forth you can rent our quad bike (a motorcycle with four wheels, for two people) for a small fee, subject to availability, or our Toyota Hilux. The quad is also excellently suited for exploring the vast farm area.

Below, see some images of the main ranch buildings:
