Detailed Reviews
A dreamlike experience , The bed was very comfortable , a great way to spend the night under the stars without walls blocking our views and the view was spectacle ❤️👌. The only problem was the breakfast , bacon was very dry and coffee was cold. But overall it was the best trip ever .

Rough roads lead to beautiful destinations and this was definitely the case with the Bubble Valley in Piet Retief. What an amazing experience from start to finish. Being greeted with flowers and cocktails is a real treat. Watching the exquisite sunset from your jacuzzi with champagne, to being wined and dined in the most romantic way with a phenomenal meal, to star gazing from the loungers.
Unfortunately we had condensation on the bubble so we couldn’t star gaze from bed but this didn’t matter at all.
Breakfast was delicious and we lazed around all day on the loungers and in our splash pool/jacuzzi. You are absolutely alone and the peace and quiet is to die for. Definitely something to experience.
We drove through pongola to get here and the roads were not bad at all, only a small section where the N2 is very rough from the trucks. Gravel road is long and tiresome but the reward at the end is so worth it. Drove home back to JHB via Ermelo and the roads were great and only took about 3.5 hours.
Can’t wait to try the Bubble Valley in Clarens.

This place is one of a kind, the unique bubble is amazing. It’s a complete definition of sleeping under the stars, such an amazing view at night.
And top it all off when you wake up the first thing you see is nature. Such a romantic place to connect with your partner. I highly recommend this amazing place.
It’s worth every cent

We had the most awesome experience, it was tranquil, beautiful and stunning. Services was absolutely fantastic, on arrival to leaving. I will definitely recommend the Bubble valley for a short get away (away from everyday rush)
We were just spoiled, it was amazing.. Thank you Rohan.

Snacks - put on website to select snacks or not options, for the price snacks should be included.
Fire place - on arrival bon fire should be burning and extra wood must be available
Bubble area - cordon off more for privacy
Shower - water pressure and heat not good
Angi - did a great job for 1 person, maybe get her some help so that she can attend to more massages etc. We booked for this but did not receive it due to her being to busy, she did ask us the next morning regarding the massages
ALL in all - awesome experience. We enjoyed it.. thank you Bubble Valley..

Wonderful romantic weekend. Staff friendly and efficient. Facilities clean.
The Bubble was a wonderful different accommodation. Watching the stars from your bed was nan experience. Attention to detail made a huge difference.

We had an amazing time at The Bubble Valley. Something totally different and very relaxing. Great memories where made while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of being nestled between the mountains and the plantations.
