Accommodation and equipment rates at Alpine Astrovillage Lue-Stailas
Start planning
your Alpine Astrovillage adventure today - enquire about availability of studios, domes, or astro-imaging in Australia now. Below, you can find our new promotional prices which are valid until the inauguration of the AAV Center (summer 2009).
Accommodation and dome rates are priced per night and unit, and we charge for both a two-night minimum. All equipment is rented only to resident guests.
Although it is not mandatory to rent imaging equipment while staying with us, priority is given to guests doing so.
We require full payment to confirm your reservation. If, for some unfortunate reason, it becomes necessary for you to cancel a reservation, you will be given a full refund less a 15 percent processing fee until 15 days prior to your arrival. We cannot issue a refund for cancellations announced less than one week prior to arrival.
We offer a carry-over of the full costs for rented equipment towards the next visit, if the weather should make imaging absolutely impossible while you are staying with us. Judgement of the weather conditions is at the sole discretion of the Center's Management.
Prices do not include meals or additional technical support/training services (billed on an hourly basis).
All guests using their own imaging equipment need to discuss their options at the time of reservation.
AAV members receive a 10% discount on all indicated prices.
