- We recently had the pleasure of joining the Dark Night Tour hosted by Kelly, the master juggler, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.Ashley Kearvell 10/13/2024
Juggle House kept us well-informed throughout the entire event, making it easy to enjoy each moment. The boat tour was a highlight; we cruised along the river, taking in the stunning scenery and observing a variety of native birds. Our tour operator was fantastic, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and the rich history of the area.
After the boat tour, we enjoyed a delicious dinner that exceeded our expectations. The food was simply amazing, truly a treat for the taste buds.
Unfortunately, the weather took a turn, and we missed out on stargazing. However, Kelly quickly arranged for an astronomer to give an informative presentation, which was a lovely addition. We learned so much, and the best part is that we’ll have the chance to come back and view the stars another time.
A big thank you to Kelly and the entire team for an exceptional experience! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable evening.
— Ash and Karen - Cloudy skies but still a great experience Despite cloudy skies and no star gazing, we chose to go ahead with the sunset cruise followed by dinner and an astrology information talk. Kelly made sure we still had a really interesting and enjoyable night. Joe's talk was so interesting and we will most definitely be back to use our credit to see the Dark Sky Reserve and night sky!andreacP9644TK 10/13/2024
- My wife and I and two friends attended the Dark Sky viewing event near Walkers Flat with the astronomer and his wife. Kelly from Juggle House facilitated our experience. Although late arriving cloud cover and a half moon we were amazed to see some much detail through the 40cm large computer operated telescope. We were able to view many of the larger stars and especially the Moon. Those present even managed to get photos of the Moon through the telescope eyepiece. Kelly made sure we were comfortable with hot Milo and chocolate bars - Milky Ways and Mars Bars. Very appropriate. The knowledge base of the astronomer was very good and he made it easier to understand the vastness of space. A very enjoyable time.Ian Blue 9/16/2024
- Awesome Birthday Experiencd Firstly I'd like the thank Kel for her hospitality and the effort she made for us during this tour, she was fantastic and the Staria was a very comfy chariot for our tour.Chadleigh L 9/10/2024
The tour was fantastic, starting of with a little history given by Kelly
We had taken the boat cruise option for the tour and this was great, Levi made it very enjoyable and the views we got of the wildlife was very calming
The actual stargazing was amazing. Words can't describe it fully but it what I will say is if you get a chance you should definitely jump at the opportunity to do this.
Being able to see Saturn and its rings or being able to see the craters on the moon is definitely something you don't get to see everyday - thank you to Joe and Lynn for their guidance during the tour and making the whole thing engaging - Fantastic and Informative Had a great time! Firstly - the host Kelly is amazing, very responsive and communicative and has a passion for what she does. The activity itself is not to be missed if you have any interest in the stars, galaxies, space or astronomy. I really loved the astronomer’s breakdown with the big telescope that was on-site. What we saw, with the clarity of what we saw, made this a cant-miss activity and I’m so thankful to have done this experience.Mario D 9/09/2024
- Amazing tour in Hahndorf/Adelaide Hills. Well-curated Experience Jurlique Farm Tour- Chocovino in Hahndorf Hill Winery- Lunch and Wine Tasting in The Lane Vineyard.lynx888 9/02/2024
If you want something more special than the usual tours, I highly recommend the Juggle House tour for Adelaide Hills. Kelly has selected the best of the best and all you have to do is to relax and enjoy the tour. All the places, food and wine that we went to were carefully curated and top notch. Everything was amazing. - River Murray dark sky and indigenous cliff engraving experience What an incredible night we had with the dark sky experience with Jugglehouse. I have lived all of my life in South Australia and have never experienced anything like this before. So many things to rave about. From the incredible views of the Murray River cliffs, the great pub meal at Swan Reach and my favourite, the unbelievable Aboriginal engravings in the cliffs at Ngaut Ngaut. Explained to us by Aboriginal Elder Ivy and 2 of her daughters. It was the site of the first archaeological dig anywhere in Australia. Finishing it off was the view of the Milky Way in the dark sky reserve with two experienced astronomers using an advanced telescope. Will never forget viewing Saturn through the telescope! Thank you Kelly for having the foresight to set up this incredible package. Would highly recommend this to everyone.Paul M 9/01/2024
- We had an amazing family experience for our Dad's 80th birthday. Nothing was too much for Kelly. It was a huge day for her picking us up early in the morning in the Entertainer and dropping us home late at night. Every stop, we came back to fresh drinks glasses and the floor vacuumed! Kelly goes the extra mile and is such fun on the trip. Thank you Kelly and Team for making Dad's birthday one to remember!Eagleonthehill 8/20/2024

- Wow! What a unique experience! Wow! What a unique experience! To have the opportunity to see the stars in such a beautiful way was a once in a lifetime experience.katecurlymaynard 8/12/2024
Kelly is a supreme host with the best bus to see such a stunning countryside prior to the “main act”. The engagement from the ‘ship captain’ Levi and astronomers Joe and Lyn was of the highest level as they shared their vase knowledge with us.
I couldn’t recommend doing this experience enough, I went solo but couples and families all enjoying the tour together. Doing the Dark Sky and Sunset tour with dinner is enjoying the whole experience offered at the River Murray. - Awesome Birthday Experience After months in the planning and collaboration with Kel, my 60th birthday celebrations exceeded all my expectations!LeeArrnne 7/22/2024
I chose the Adelaide Hills Cheese and Chocolate tour, with a couple of tweaks.
Our daughter’s 30th is two days after mine and it turned into a wonderful joint celebration with thoughtful touches from Kel including a 60 and 30 balloon as well as a special chocolate treat for us both.
Once we were all aboard the Entertainer Limo, we were treated with a glass of bubbles (or water) which we enjoyed en route to our first destination at Melba’s Chocolates. Their tills ran hot with purchases before it was time to reboard the Limo to journey to our next stop at Hahndorf Hill Winery.
Our group enjoyed a paired chocolate and wine tasting experience in the ViewTube, overlooking the vineyards. Differing dietary needs of the group were catered for with a cheese platter and non alcohol option. The knowledge of Dee who looked after our group was amazing and the service was great. Beautiful ambiance as well.
Our next destination was Grünthal Brewing with Cheese Fondue by Udder Delights. With dietary needs once again satisfied every member of the group enjoyed the experience.
Beerenburg was next where we were treated to a sample of their famous strawberry icecream and sorbet, with a special surprise for the birthday girls which consisted of a totally edible miniature chocolate pot plant with flower. We also had the opportunity to purchase some of Beerenburg’s yummy jams and pickles or just browse in their new Farm Shop.
It was lucky we all saved some room for coffee and cake at The Haus!
I couldn’t fault the service and attention to detail we had at each venue.
We have travelled with Kel before and can’t wait to book another tour at sometime in the future.
Thank you Kel for a truly amazing day, when I think back I have feelings of joy and can picture everyone smiling! - We enjoyed a wonderful time on this tour!! Excellent communication from Kelly before attending so we knew what to expect. Unfortunately cloud cover meant we couldn't attend to the stargazing part however we decided to continue on with the river cruise and meal and it was so good. We have since received vouchers to attend the astronomy at another time so that's something to look forward to. Regardless, it was such a a fantastic time and a great experience, would fully recommend this tour.Fiona Putt 6/19/2024
- An Interesting Encounter that is not to be missed! The team were really nice. The gentlemen who was explaining to us about all the different kinds of stars were pouring lots of interesting information to us, he is very keen to share his knowledge with us. He also taught us to us our iPhone camera to take an incredible photos of the stars!ElisEr1986 5/24/2024
Kelly, who was the Master Juggler were really taking care of us by giving out some really warm blankets and hot chocolate. - Great evening along the River Murray! Fantastic tour with a great and well informed host. They picked us up from the Bridgeport Hotel in Murray Bridge . The vehicle was clean, safe and well appointed. We were greeted with some bubbles and a warm welcome. We then headed up the river with interesting commentary about the region.Jerry K 5/07/2024
The tour then had a few stops overlooking the river, wildlife, and beautiful cliffs just before sunset. The views were incredible. We then stopped for a quick dinner at the Swan Reach Hotel. During dinner, our host Kelly, shared a fun and informative talk about what we would be seeing the rest of the evening.
We then drove a few minutes to an Aboriginal site. It was particularly interesting to me to learn that people have lived on this site for about 8,000 years. Indigenous hosts shared their knowledge of the site which gave me a real appreciation of the history of this area and all who have lived here.
Juggle House Experiences and Kelly took us to the Dark Sky site where we were me by astronomer Joe and his wife Lynn. Joe had his sophisticated telescope set up for us to view through but also shared his extensive knowledge of the skies. I saw more stars that night than I ever have before and learned a great deal from Joe. Kelly also shared hot chocolate and of, course, Milky Way bars, while we were viewing the skies.
Finally, we were driven back to where we started at the completion of the tour. This was a very fun and informative experience. I can highly recommend Juggle House Experiences and Kelly! - 5 Stars for the ✨Dark Sky Gold Stars Sunset Tour✨ - as a local and Juggle House frequent flier - the beauty in Regional South Australia is incredible. Loved learning about Aboriginal culture at Ngaut Ngaut & gazing at the stars. Perfect for anyone - locals, Aussies from afar, or international travelers. Don't miss this unique experience - top-notch commentary by Kells the Master Juggler; bubbly included, and a luxurious limousine bus ride! ✨✨✨✨✨Jodie Hawkes 5/05/2024
- Evening Tour from Mannum A fun way to tour, with different sites to see and all the planning and driving done for you. Kel was terrific, our host, driver and planner.anonymousV339HN 4/22/2024
We started with some good bubbles and introductions. Then we headed to see the Murray River cliff faces, as the sun was setting. The lighting was beautiful. The Murray river and its cliffs were the reason for our travel to South Australia, part of looking at things we hadn't seen before. We loved seeing the Big Bend.
Dinner at the Swan Reach hotel, with a good choice meals.
A night tour of Ngaut Ngaut Conservation Park with Ivy & Sam, the information they told us & their personal stories were interesting.
Onto the Dark Sky Cliff top star gazing. Joe and Lyn are passionate astronomers, very knowledgeable. Could have been a little long, Joe loved to share lots of information about the night sky with us.
Back to town around 11:30pm.
Not having to do the driving in the evening was good, you could sit back and relax and share stories with other guests from all around the world.
We would recommned this tour. - We had a very special night We had a great time, Kelly is a great guide, sharing with us the small town vibe and the charm of the area. The tour in Naut Naut was so special, learning about the aboriginal community from them directly, truly a deep experience. We got lucky with amazing night sky visibility, but bring very warm clothes and maybe blankets too as it was very cold to be outside for so long. This night sky reserve is relatively new and it was interesting to see how it is being developed, hopefully they are able to get funding to build a planetarium there. Thanks Kelly and good luck with the reserve development!Shanie L 4/16/2024
