2 Waipu Thunder Domes Seaview Off-grid Eco Glamping Dome

In just over 1.5 hours from Auckland, your off-grid adventure awaits. Nestled near the top of a hill, our rustic geodesic glamping dome is the perfect retreat to reconnect with nature and each other. From your private sanctuary, gaze across rolling farmland that flows toward the glittering Pacific—ever-changing shades of blue by day, a silver mirror by moonlight.

This summer, an outdoor bath and firepit will add even more magic—imagine soaking beneath a canopy of stars or sharing stories by a crackling fire as the night unfolds. Wake to golden sunrises over the ocean, watch the sky ignite at sunset, and when darkness falls, lose yourself beneath thousands of sparkling stars. Inside, your cozy dome offers a snug bedroom, hammock, and heater for warmth and relaxation, while a private shower and eco-friendly composting toilet await just outside.

It’s glamping with romance and wonder—where wide horizons and ever-changing skies make every moment feel extraordinary.

Please note, 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 😊

Please dress appropriately, make use of the robes, the hot water bottles & woodfire to come!. If you need more blankets, please don't hesitate to ask.
