‘Étoile’
The original star-gazing bubble — a transparent dome with a queen bed, ensuite and telescope, framed by epic coastal views.
✦ Agnes · South Gippsland · Victoria
Two private, transparent star-gazing bubbles for couples — perched on a mountaintop above the coastline, where the night sky becomes your ceiling.
The Experience
Unburdened by the distractions of daily life, immerse yourselves in the pure joy of each other’s company beneath a mesmerising canopy of stars.
Each bubble is a transparent yet private cocoon, surrounded by native wildlife and complete tranquillity — a front-row seat to the sunset, the sunrise, and the entire Southern sky. Designed for couples who want to slow down, reconnect, and remember what quiet feels like.
✦ One night at ‘Étoile’
Leave the world
at the gate.
Watch the day
melt into gold.
The bubble
begins to glow.
And the whole
galaxy comes out.
Wake to a world
remade.
The sky tonight
Whatever the night gives you, the dome frames it from your pillow.
On new-moon weekends the Milky Way pours across the glass — and a telescope is always waiting on the deck.
Inside the Bubble
Everything you need for a seamless, romantic stay — thoughtfully tucked into a space that feels like nowhere else on earth.


A private cocoon with a clear roof, open to the whole sky.
A four-poster bed dressed for deep, restful sleep.
A private bathroom with dual rain shower and its own little sky window.
Cosy in winter, cool in summer — comfortable in every season.
Cook under the stars and keep your drinks chilled.
Bring the constellations close from the comfort of your deck.
Adirondack chairs and uninterrupted views, just for the two of you.
One couple, complete privacy, surrounded by native wildlife.

The Location
Perched high above the coastline, with uninterrupted views across rolling mountains and ocean toward Wilsons Promontory National Park.
You’re minutes from some of Victoria’s most beautiful coastline and a short drive from the Prom itself — yet far enough that all you’ll hear at night is the wind and the wildlife.
Exact address shared after booking. Approx. 2.5 hrs from Melbourne.

★★★★★“The bubble was such a magical experience — I proposed to my girlfriend there, and now it’s a place neither of us will ever forget. It honestly feels like an out-of-body experience, surrounded by the hills, the sea and the cows. Highly recommend!”
★★★★★“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!”
★★★★★“Such a lovely experience! Enjoyed every bit and moment of our stay — would definitely recommend to friends and family.”

Good to Know
Yes — each bubble is a private retreat for two adults (one couple per bubble). It’s an adults-only, no-pets escape designed for peace and privacy.
Absolutely. The dome is transparent yet private, so you can lie in bed and watch the Southern night sky directly overhead. A telescope is provided for a closer look.
Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM.
An ensuite bathroom with rain shower, a queen bed with luxe linens, heating and cooling, a mini fridge, a Weber BBQ, a telescope and a private timber deck with chairs.
The bubbles are in Agnes, South Gippsland VIC — roughly 2.5 hours from Melbourne. The exact address and directions are shared after booking.
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.
