★★★★★“What a magical experience sleeping under the stars. If you’re lucky with the weather, the sunrise and sunset are incredible. So many people have asked where our magic star photos were taken. Tim was a great communicator. Thanks for our stay!”

How do I get there, and where exactly is it?
The bubbles are in Agnes, South Gippsland VIC — roughly 2.5 hours from Melbourne. The exact address and directions are shared after booking.
What happens if the weather turns?
The bubble is fully enclosed, heated and cooled, so it’s cosy in any season — and rolling clouds over the hills are part of the magic. Please check the current cancellation policy when you book.
