Sleep under the stars in one of these cosy new bubble tents

These two new outdoor accommodations offer the ultimate luxury astrotourism experience.

With the rise of astrotourism, Bubbletent Australia has unveiled two new luxury off-grid tents – Pisces and Ophiuchus – that are redefining what it means to sleep under the stars. Located in the idyllic Capertee Valley, New South Wales, both tents sit on the opposite ridge of the existing three Bubbletents. From here, there are expansive views across the world’s second-largest canyon, and its remote location and low light pollution allow for optimal stargazing.

The cosy east-facing tents offer similarly luxurious, off-grid stargazing experiences. Each is equipped with Australian wool blankets, pull-out floor chairs, a dining table and a queen-size bed that rotates beneath the stars so you can admire the constellations from every angle. The bed also converts into a ping-pong table and has a cleverly hidden wine cellar, so you can enjoy a tipple or two while you stargaze in the Swedish wood-fired outdoor hot tub – does it get much more romantic than that?

The accommodation is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Outside, you’ll find a bathroom with a Japanese-style flushing toilet, rain shower, slippers and plush robes. There is also a Bushbuck kitchen station fitted with a bar fridge, gas burner, rotisserie and pizza stones to whip up a gourmet meal under the stars. Prefer to relax instead? A sandwich press, popcorn maker and marshmallows are all ready for you to use and enjoy by the fire pit.

Get cosy by the fire pit.

Stargazing gear, including telescopes and in-bubble iPads pre-loaded with the Luminos app, guarantees an unforgettable evening. 

Those wanting to get close to nature should opt for Ophiuchus with its treehouse-style netted bed suspended between three trees offering breathtaking sunrise views, while those wanting more dramatic views will love the sunrise and sunset opportunities from Pisces.

Both tents utilise solar power, geothermal cooling (hello, air conditioning) and biodegradable materials, meaning your stay is as gentle on the environment as it is on your mind. 

The remote location and low light pollution allow for optimal stargazing.
