Normally in April we would go away for our wedding anniversary but with COVID-19 forcing us in to lockdown we had to wait until now to get away. While we spend most holidays camping in the camper trailer, our anniversary trips are usually somewhere with a bit more luxury. This time I thought I would try something different - a bit of ‘glamping’.
So we ended up staying at the ‘Bubble tent’. Located between Mudgee and Capertee the exact location is kept a secret until you book. There are three tents each well away from each other providing ample seclusion for those who are worried about the idea of being exposed in a clear bubble.
While it tries to give an impression of luxury, the facilities are generally fairly basic with less luxury than our camper trailer. Having said that they have tried to introduce some nice small touches from the hot thermos on arrival and definitely a comfy bed with a view to die for.
We are used to camping but it was still freezing as the night as a storm and high winds blew up the valley. Luckily the electric blankets and ample woollen blankets kept us warm. While the storm meant we did not get to gaze up to the stars, it did mean we had a spectacular sunrise to wake to.
We were only there for the one night so did not get a chance to try out the bath tub with the best view in Australia. It was also near freezing so the idea of spending three hours getting the wood fired bath going was not high on the list of things to do.
The occasional light shower brought with it an amazing rainbow - truly a bubble at the end of the rainbow!
With some high winds I only managed a quick fly of the drone to get a birds eye view of this amazing tent.
As mentioned before, the bed was cozy, and with views like this to wake up to, it was hard to leave.
Overall, it was a great experience to do once but i must admit, having the camper trailer means i have all the things i need as well as the ability to venture anywhere throughout this great country.
