The experience

Australia's first bubbletents glamping

Virgo is the only tent with a bathtub perched on the cliff.

Sleeping past sunrise in a Bubbletent is a bit like setting your alarm clock to "sauna."
As soon as the first rays of the day hit the transparent skin, you're awake, even if you have made the most of the provided eye masks. As there's not a lot of shade on site, the best thing to do is rise early and hit the road and explore this dreamy pocket of the state.
There's plenty to keep you entertained nearby, from vineyard hopping in the Mudgee wine region, around 80 kilometers west, to scenic helicopter tours over the valley.
You can also visit the Astronomical Society of New South Wales, based in the nearby town of Illford. Meanwhile, sunshine-seekers can lace up hiking boots and explore tracks that lead straight down from the campsites.
But be back at your tent by mid-afternoon, because the last few minutes of the day are a highlight of any stay.
As soon as the sun disappears, temperatures in the tents drop dramatically. It's the perfect time to make the most of your dome's incredible acoustics. Sonny and Mayu supply each site with UE Wonderboom Bluetooth speakers and iPads loaded with curated Spotify playlists.
Select "Ziggy Stardust" and turn up the volume.
The iPad should also be your first point of inspiration for stargazing, with the insightful Luminos app providing a wealth of information on the constellations overhead and tips on where to point your bubble's telescope.
