1. Waipū luxury eco glamping in offgrid geodesic dome

Ever wanted to experience a geodesic dome? Less than 2 hrs from Auckland you can escape to this rustic glamping dome in a rural setting near the coast. Situated on top of a hill, there are amazing rural & sea views, thousands of stars in a clear sky, with outstanding sunrise and sunsets. The dome contains a gorgeous bedroom, lounging space, & adjacent entranceway. Nearby is your own outdoor composting toilet and luxurious shower.
To note:
We are still working on this set-up, so it is fairly basic and not yet landscaped. There are also some finishing touches that we would like to add to the domes (e.g. more plants & an outdoor bath!), but for now the basic glamping amenities are available at a discounted price, so please bear with us! This is a rural property and this means there are bugs around the place like flies, spiders, slaters & occasionally bush cockroaches. As we are an Organic property, we don't spray any poisons. If you don't want a bug inside, please pick it up & put it outside, or ask us to come & remove it for you 😊
Dome rules:
This is a fully off-grid property so we absolutely cannot use electric heaters here, as we will run out of power. Please dress appropriately, make use of the robes, diesel heater & the hot water bottles. If you need more blankets, please don't hesitate to ask. Please wash your dishes using the water at the sink to fill up the kettle and heat the water so that you can clean them properly. Wipe them & put them away again, & leave the kitchen as you found it. No shoes inside the dome please, you can leave them in the entranceways. We also run off tank water, so please keep your showers to a 5 minute maximum, otherwise we will also run out of water. We love it that you can bring your fur babies, but please keep dogs off the furniture & rugs, feel free to roll up the rug if you don't think that you can keep the dog off it. Dogs to be on leash outside at all times & please pick up any dog poo, we have poo bags if you need.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The vacation home also includes a travel crib. Change of towels is available on request.

Beautiful dome

We had a great stay in the dome for 5 nights. Great location, beautiful views and the dome was very clean and tidy. We loved being off grid (a great idea!) and would love to stay again sometime!

Perfect Mini-escape!!

We had sun, wind, rain, and a clear night sky for a wee bit of stargazing. It was such a great way to unwind without needing to plan much. Totally enjoyed it!
