Bubble Tent Australia

Add to wishlist Contact us

The creation of owners who fell in love with the night sky during a trip to New Zealand, Bubble tent Australia offers the chance to sleep in your own personal bubble, under the stars yet shielded from the elements.

Three clear, inflatable tents are located on a remote farmstead. Each in a secluded and completely private location, overlooking the second largest canyon in the world. Aptly named after star constellations the three ‘tents’ are comfortably furnished with a plush bed and ensuite toilet. All of the tents have spectacular views, telescopes, fire pits and quirky seating and two have a private outdoor wood-fired bathtub.

Why we like Bubble Tent Australia

There is nothing else like this in Australia. We love the quirkiness of this bubble accommodation, the spectacular views and the proximity to Sydney.

Facilities

A stay here is all about the views and surrounding nature. There are no central communal areas so self-catering is required. Each tent has its own gas double burner as well as a range of basic cooking utensils. Additional tent facilities include binoculars, a telescope and torches.

Activities

Stay close to your tent and enjoy the views – watch the sunset, gaze at the night skies, laze in the hammock or do some walking. This area is also a haven for birdlife.

A short drive away it is possible to go wine tasting in Mudgee, hiking, abseiling, fishing or take to the skies for a helicopter excursion.
