We look forward to welcoming you to Skyview Bubbletent!

Below we have put together some helpful information to prepare for your upcoming stay.

We hope you enjoy your magical outdoor adventure – you might feel like you’re miles away from anywhere but you are safe on our little working farm, so please feel free to wander around and visit the chooks, peruse the veggie patch, explore the bush land and the abutting forest or say hello to the alpacas. The alpacas  are a part of a working farm and are rotated between paddocks. This means, they wont always be in the house paddock during the time of your stay. Thank you for your understanding. You may wish to pop into our artist studio. Just call Richard Payne to arrange a studio visit on 0417 379 162.

Enjoy!

IMPORTANT – Arrival Info

The Bubbletent is inflated so it’s important to observe the following safety rules to prevent it from deflating!

  1. It looks like an Igloo – the tunnel part is an airlock, so it is essential that you only have one door open at a time or the bubble will go down
  2. Please treat the doors with care – carefully push them to open. Magnets will seal them up when closed
  3. The BubbleTent is made of plastic – please do not use sharp implements or wear outdoor shoes inside
  4. Please do not change the vent panels – they are designed to keep rain out and regulate the BubbleTent airflow (and keep it up).
