Experience breathtaking views of the stars and the Milky Way from Lothlorien Cottage in Hogsback, South Africa

Enjoy stunning startgazing and astronomy opportunites in the private grounds of Lothlorien Cottage by just turing off the lights of the cottage or take a short walk to the road just outside Lothlorien on a clear night.

Switch your torches off and with no street lights and no light pollution for many miles around and the high altitude of around 1300m being well above the valley you will experience some breathtaking views of the stars in the Milky Way which is best only viewed from the Southern Hemisphere.

You may even spot some fireflies glowing in the dark or even a mystical Hogsback fairy.

Remember to make a wish if you see a shooting star.
