F or Véronique Godin, the journey to starting Estrella Glamping was about turning a dream into a reality - a vision of offering guests a unique way to experience nature, with comfort and luxury in mind. The idea was simple yet ambitious: to create an unforgettable getaway experience by blending the serenity of nature with the comfort of upscale accommodations. Now, Estrella Glamping, with its cozy “bubble” accommodations, provides a special retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying a high-end, one-of-a- kind experience. The idea for Estrella Glamping came to Véronique while exploring different ways of making people engage with the outdoors. As a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in business, she wanted to create a place that would feel personal and meaningful to every guest. “I’ve always loved the outdoors, but I also understand that people have different ways of building a relationship with the outdoors. Some want the adventure, and others want comfort,” Véronique shared. “Glamping is a wonderful way to meet both needs.” Working alongside her business partner, Marcel Poirier, Véronique envisioned Estrella Glamping in Village-Blanchard on New Brunswick’s Acadian Peninsula, not just as a glamourous campsite - but as an opportunity for guests to experience nature without compromising on comfort. Starting Estrella Glamping wasn’t without its challenges. As Véronique pointed out, it was a combination of balancing the needs of the business with her personal vision.
“We faced the challenge of making the experience both unique and accessible. We had to ensure that the location provided all the essential elements for an exceptional experience and that the amenities were of high quality. A key focus was ensuring the bubble accommodations were just right.” One of the biggest hurdles was acquiring the right land and making sure everything was set up properly to welcome guests. It was essential to not only find a beautiful location, but also one that was safe, functional, and accessible. “It was a lot of work, but every step brought us closer to the experience we wanted to create for our guests,” she said. Ensuring the bubbles would provide the right blend of comfort and immersion in nature was another challenge. “The idea behind the bubbles was to create a space where guests could see the stars and the beauty of nature right from their bed,” Véronique explained. “But the bubbles had to be just as warm and cozy as they were transparent and open to the outdoors.” The bubbles have since become the standout feature of Estrella Glamping. The clear, inflatable dome design is both practical and stunning, offering panoramic views of the sky and surroundings. What makes the bubbles at Estrella Glamping stand out from other inflatable bubble accommodations is the level of comfort and convenience built into each one. Unlike many similar setups, each bubble is equipped with its own heat pump for air conditioning and heating, ensuring
