ABOUT
An Evening of Stargazing & Wonder!
Treat your friends and family to a night where the stars come alive above you. At the stunning Casalinga venue in Muldersdrift, you’ll step onto expansive lawns that feel like an escape from the city—calm, open, and perfect for stargazing.
Make it a complete experience: enjoy a meal or drink at Casalinga’s renowned restaurant before or after or grab a takeaway and share a relaxed picnic under the stars.
Then the magic begins...
As the night sky darkens, you’ll look through powerful telescopes and:
- See the Moon’s craters and valleys in breathtaking detail (and snap a photo of it with your phone!)
- Witness Saturn in the early evening sky for the first time this season—rings and all!
- Explore constellations and spot double stars
- Discover glittering star clusters and hidden asterisms
- Enjoy a laser-guided tour of the night sky
Guiding your journey is Vicus Cruywagen - passionate telescope maker and avid skywatcher - who will bring the universe to life with fascinating insights.
This isn’t just stargazing—it’s a chance to slow down, look up, and share an unforgettable evening of wonder with those you love.
