Frequently asked questions

What is Dark Sky Stays?

A free guide to finding dark skies in Western Australia: places to stay and camp in genuinely dark rural areas, stargazing tips and why dark skies matter. We link to each place's own website; check details with them before you go.

Is Night Skies WA open yet?

Not yet. Night Skies WA is our own planned retreat. We are still choosing land in rural Western Australia. We will announce more here and on X when it is ready.

Where will it be?

Somewhere in rural WA, far from city lights. We will announce the location once the land is secured.

What kind of stays will there be?

We plan to start small with a few caravan, camping and tiny-house sites, then grow into cabins and retreats.

How much will it cost?

Pricing has not been set.

Do I need a telescope?

No. Dark skies are spectacular with the naked eye or binoculars.
