Weekend Trip to STAR GAZING BUBBLE HOTEL
We had the most beautiful night at the Bubble Hotel. The space was cosy, clean and so special since we could bring our dogs along! We were so lucky to book during the winter deal, which gave us the guest house, fire pit and fairy lights – these made the night feel extra special and we probably wouldn’t have been able to splurge on them otherwise. Sitting by the fire pit under the fairy lights was such a highlight and waking up to kangaroos hopping by at sunrise honestly felt magical. The only little hiccup was that someone walked into the guesthouse in the morning, even though we’d been told it was private – but it didn’t take away from how special the stay felt. Overall, such a unique and memorable experience – one we’ll always treasure and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a magical escape in the Hunter Valley.

Weekend Trip to STAR GAZING BUBBLE HOTEL
Just returned from a night in the Dome (a late birthday prezzie for my hubby), which is set in the vast acreage surrounding the beautiful home of our hosts, Claudio and Shellee, in Mount Vincent. We entertained the ponies and cows for the evening with our antics and followed the stars on our Night Sky apps, while toasting marshmallows on the fire and enjoying a glass of fizz or two. Our hosts provided us with an excellent cheese platter, plenty of firewood, and a beautifully presented Dome with a window to the heavens to sleep under. It was amazing!! Claudio, Shellee, and their family made us so feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Claudio and Shellee, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will most definitely be coming back to see you again!

Hi there, Claudio and his wife Shellee were amazing hosts. We are a family of 4 with 2 young girls. Apparently we were the first family to stay in the bubble tent. Kids loved the experience and so did we. all the amenities were above our expectations and the ambiance they provide us with the tent setup was on point.

The view of the stars was perfect, could only see the brightest ones from inside the bubble but just rugged up with blankets and sat on the chairs outside. Was lovely with the fire! The wine glasses were a nice addition and the bed was nicely made up with plenty of bedding and extra blankets. Hosts were lovely, stopped in to greet us but otherwise left us be. Kept an open line of communication with us and were very accommodating, offered us to pick some excess citrus, would definitely book again, it was a lovely spot.

The cottage was a stunning place to spend the weekend even though it rained so we didn’t get to explore as much of the bush as we would have liked. Loved the maps which greeted us with so many surprising options to explore. We walked lyrebird and yowie tracks which were challenging but very rewarding. No lyrebird sightings this time round but definitely worth the climb up the side of the mountain. Had a lovely time chilling with the walleroos in the outdoor tub after that one!

We were surprised that we even had eggs, butter, bread, some vegetables, fruits, coffee, milk and many other things to prepare our own breakfast. Our dog was happy to run around unleashed and we had a great time.
