A unique outdoor camping experience underneath glorious starry night skies
We spent two wonderful days and nights staying in the Thunderbolt Bubbletent at Mirmumiru near Tenterfield. It was a pleasant country road drive from the Tweed Coast. On first sight and with our host’s explanation of the site we were struck by the creativity and imagination that has gone into the development. The fire pit, the bbq plate, the stocked outdoor kitchen and the luxurious hot bath were all great but the ‘star’ of the stay is lying back and being amazed by the views of stunning night skies from the comfort of a cosy queen sized bed. Lots of places to visit and enjoy in the Tenterfield area.

A wonderful stay under the stars. A lovely way to detox from the fast-paced runnings of the city and enjoy some downtime in nature.
Johanna
Staying at Captain Thunderbolt bubbletent was such an amazing experience my husband and I will never forget. Such a beautiful place, so peaceful and relaxing, plus falling asleep looking at the stars and then waking up to blue sky from the bubble was something else! Great location.
Karley
Wow is an understatement! A bubble dream. Stars were breathtaking, we even got lucky enough to watch a storm from our bed. Big thank you for such a wonderful time we will definitely be back.
Jesse
Absolutely adored our time at Mirumiru, I would recommend it to anyone! Once in a lifetime experience (except for when we book it again, which I’m sure we will).
Claire
What a fantastic stay
Cathryn and brad were fantastic hosts and I enjoyed my stay immensely.
Dale
Thank you for the amazing experience. We both loved Mirumiru and Tenterfield. We had an amazing day yesterday exploring, starting with the most delicious breakfast and coffee at The Gallery Café and then onto Boonoo Boonoo Falls, Bald Rock and Mt McKenzie. Showering in the rain this morning was magical.
Karrie
Our host Cathryn made sure we were comfortable and gave us plenty of suggestions for things to do during our stay. Such a unique experience and will make time to head back!
Georgia
Wow! What an amazing property. Cathryn has thought of everything to make your stay super comfy & luxe. The bed, linen, electric blankets, pillows, toiletries, bath robes and all of the little extras were amazing. Even with cloud cover the whole time and heavy rain each night, we had an absolute blast. The town of Tenterfield and surrounding endless National Parks leave you wanting to stay for several more nights to have the time to see it all. We will be back for sure.

Mirumiru Bubbletent is an accommodation experience like no other. Cathryn, the host, has done such an incredible job creating a unique and beautiful accommodation offering in Tenterfield. Relaxing in the outdoor vintage bath with a cup of tea and a book, cooking dinner on the outdoor firepit while watching the sunset and sleeping in the bubbletent with an unobstructed view of the stars. The perfect place to base yourself when exploring the local National Parks and village. It's an experience i'll never forgot and I'd recommend.

Experience Accommodation
This was a magical stay. Cathryn thought of everything you would need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Tenterfield is cold but that is all part of the experience. The bubble tent was equipped with electric blankets, hot water bottles, OOdies, warm socks and hot hot water for your outdoor shower. The first night we were there we went to bed and thought the stars were incredible until the moon went down and the sky became even more amazing to look at. The seams in the tent roof disappear when the moon does and it is like you are floating in a spaceship. We lay for hours counting the shooting stars. Not only is the accommodation great but Tenterfield as a destination has so much to offer. The nearby National Parks were stunning with waterfalls and huge granite boulders. Tenterfield has some great places to eat and the history of the town itself is so interesting. We couldn't recommend this more. Treat yourself and go!

Wonderful experience in a beautiful town. This was something totally different but so enjoyable.
Mirumiru was exactly what you want in a high country escape. Amazing views of dramatic granite ridges, where you let the day become night. Nights where the stars pulsate and the temperature drops dramatically. Beautiful stands of Eucalypt behind your bubbletent where Maggies and Rosellas roost. You’ll lose count of the shooting stars you count from bed. Cathryn and Brad have done a stellar job of turning an overgrazed hobby farmer block into a haven for native animals. Can’t wait to see the saplings that they’ve planted grow into established trees. The tent and amenities themselves are top tier, with all the creature comforts you want from a glamping experience. Can’t recommend it enough!

The most wonderful stay!
Cathryn is the best host! she thinks of everything. We didn’t come very prepared for the cold but she had oodies and slippers and all things warm already set out for us. she is so accommodating and so lovely! My sister and I stayed in the Captain Moonlite bubble tent, we absolutely loved it! The view and this property is so beautiful. The bath tub on the deck was my favourite part, sitting in a hot tub with cold winds and the most amazing views. We will definitely be back here we adore this place!
I have never seen the night sky so clearly!
What a great stay! My partner and I visited early June and fell in love with the clamping experience. We stayed in the Thunderbolt Bubbletent for two nights and loved sitting by the fire pit at night. The hot chocolate, coffee and tea provided was very yummy and the cheese board lasted us for both nights of our stay. Have never used an eco-composting toilet before we visited, but we loved the sustainable off-grid design of the tent. So many gorgeous things to do in Tenterfield and the New England area as well - we sure got our walking boots on!

Had a beautiful weekend away at the Thunderbolt bubbletent!
What an amazing view waking up to the sunrise and watching the sunset turn into a starry night's sky in the evening. You can hear the sheep and cows in the morning too. Such a comfy bed with electric blankets and thoughtful little touches like breakfast, chocolates and wine. You're definitely out in nature in the shower/bath, but all is kept private from the other guests at the second bubbletent down the hill. The kitchenette also has all you need to make a simple dinner, or over the fire. Great hikes at Bald Rock National Park about 20 mins away and swimming at Basket Swamp Waterfall. Highly recommended the donuts and acai bowls at Bad Manners Cafe, scones and quiche from the Bohemian tearoom and coffee from the Potting Shed in Tenterfield. Pack a book and get ready to relax! Weather is lovely - crisp/sunny in October.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Bubbletent. Everything was set up for maximum comfort and relaxation. Can’t recommend it highly enough! Really unique experience with lots to explore around local areas.
Tess
Perfect little getaway even in winter time! Even though it was freezing out side, you can make it warm and cozy in the bubble with what Cathryn provides. Plenty of things to do around the area also, nice little town. Definitely recommend 👌
A unique experience that allowed us to reconnect and spend time together without the hustle and bustle of family and work life. The cold crisp winter nights were highlighted with the extraordinary view of the starry sky.
Mandy
We loved our stay in the Bubbletent. The location is stunning and we had everything we needed for our stay. Stargazing from the warmth and comfort of the Bubbletent was incredible. Would definitely recommend for a unique way to experience Tenterfield and surrounds.
We had a lovely night and even had a bath under the stars last night. Enjoyed the experience.

Mirumiru Bubbletent – home to Australia’s first bubbletent in a tree – faces off with the panoramic beauty of Mount Mackenzie. Wallabies bound from paddock to paddock, merino sheep graze in neighbouring farmland, and there’s no one to see you slip into your vintage outdoor bathtub before the sky performs its celestial finale, showcased through the roof of your transparent tent.
