Martinborough / Carterton

Plan from Martinborough or Carterton

Arrange rural transport and the return before the session. A Remutaka Hill issue should not be presented as a venue closure for someone already in Wairarapa.

Two booked night experiences

Two separate operator confirmations

Both experiences require a dated booking. Daytime admission at Stonehenge Aotearoa does not authorise the after-hours Star Trek session.

Checks before departure

What to recheck before leaving

Weather scores remain planning information until the chosen operator confirms the booking, session, and operation.

Sky conditions only

Before you stargaze

Give your eyes about 10 minutes to adapt to the dark after arrival. Keep flashlights and vehicle lights low for other stargazers.
