A vineyard escape in Coonawarra is giving South Australians one of the region’s most unusual overnight stays, with chic bubble-style tents offering starry skies, vineyard views and a glamping experience that feels a world away from a standard hotel room.
The Coonawarra Hampton Bubblies are clear, climate-controlled bubble tents set among the vines, designed for guests who want the romance of sleeping under the stars without giving up comfort. Each Hampton Bubbly has 360-degree views, full privacy curtains, a king-sized bed and a foldout couch, making it a cosy option for couples, friends or small families wanting a memorable Limestone Coast getaway.
The interiors lean into a Hamptons-inspired look, with soft neutral tones, modern furniture and an easy, beach-house-style feel. The spaces are designed to feel relaxed but polished, pairing the novelty of a transparent bubble tent with the practical comforts travellers expect, including quality linen, air conditioning, heating, electric blankets, tea and coffee facilities, fresh water, 240v and USB power, lighting, Wi-Fi and a multimedia projector for movie nights.
Each Hampton Bubbly also comes with a lockable front door, flyscreens and an ensuite camping toilet set with a hand wash basin, meaning guests do not need to leave the tent during cold or rainy nights. Outside, each stay has a picnic table and fire drum, creating an easy place to settle in with a glass of Coonawarra wine as the sun drops over the vineyard.
The experience is also well placed for a full wine-country break. The property is only minutes from Coonawarra wineries, restaurants and broader Limestone Coast attractions, with the Coonawarra Wineries Walking Trail nearby for visitors keen to spend the day moving between cellar doors. Wine tasting is available on site, while guests can also make use of free bikes and helmets, BBQ and outdoor kitchen areas, and activities including archery and gel blaster sessions.
For those wanting to make the stay feel even more indulgent, add-ons are available, including firewood for the outdoor fire drum and a deluxe upgrade with breakfast provisions and a bottle of Coonawarra wine on arrival. Pets are also welcome on their own bedding, making the stay an option for travellers who do not want to leave their four-legged companion behind.
The standard rate for a Hampton Bubbly starts from $239, with additional charges for extra adults, children, pets and optional upgrades. Chinese-speaking staff are also available.
With vineyard views by day, starry skies by night and Coonawarra’s cellar doors just minutes away, the Hampton Bubblies are shaping up as one of South Australia’s most distinctive glamping stays.
