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, heater, & adjacent entranceway. Nearby is your own private outdoor composting toilet and luxurious shower.
The space is warm & cosy with amazing views of the ocean, islands & farmland, livestock, wild turkeys & surrounding hills. Amazing sunrises & sunsets too, all from your own private rustic glamping retreat!
Other things 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. better flooring, more fencing & an outdoor bath!), but for now the basic glamping amenities are available at a discounted price, so please bear with us!

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!
