THE JOURNEY TO BUBBLETENT
Every extraordinary idea starts with a moment of inspiration, and ours began under the breathtaking canopy of stars at Lake Tekapo—a journey that set us on the path to creating Bubbletent.
INSPIRED BY THE STARS
Our Bubbletent story began on an unforgettable night at Mt John Observatory in New Zealand. A perfectly timed visit during the new moon phase, paired with a meteor shower and crystal-clear skies, revealed a stargazing experience like no other. Lake Tekapo, renowned as one of the world’s top three stargazing locations, owes its brilliance to the local commitment to minimizing light pollution. Once our eyes adjusted to the darkness, we were utterly captivated by the cosmic beauty above. As the tour ended, necks craned and hearts full, we returned to our accommodations, forever changed by the wonder of the universe.
Driven to recreate that magical experience, we embarked on a journey to find a location that offered not just breathtaking nights but equally stunning days. After countless adventures in our little city car, we stumbled upon this gem: a magnificent perch overlooking Capertee Valley—the widest canyon in the world and a birdwatcher’s paradise—hidden right here in the Central Tablelands of NSW.
Our mission has always been to replicate, or perhaps even surpass, our Lake Tekapo experience. Now, we invite you to see for yourself. Lie back, gaze at the stars, and rediscover your place in the cosmos. This is where perspective comes alive, and you find your true north.
