Geodesic Domes. What in the name?
The Geodesic Dome is a spherical structure composed of a network of 3 different sized triangles, forming hexagons. These create a self-supporting frame that provides structural strength while using the smallest amount of material possible. Our domes are super strong and rated for Hurricane strength winds of up to 155kmhr!
The term geodesic comes from Latin and means separation of the earth. Our Domes are both physically and literally separated from the earth as they are raised 1m above ground to position them for the ultimate sunset views.
Fun facts:
Each Dome is 7m in Diameter, with a floor space of just under 40 square meters, the curved ceilings reach up 4.3mtr and weighs just 350kg per structure!
Discover the Best of Coastal Glamping
The spacious coastal domes have been curated to offer you a totally relaxed, recharged and unforgettable experience.
Each dome is a cozy haven, complete with a smart kitchenette, a super comfy Queen-sized bed with stunning sunset views, and all the essential little extras you could wish for.
Such as the Nespresso Vertuo machine for that perfect morning pick-me-up, the domes are self-contained, featuring an ensuite bathroom, a dressing room, and a chill lounge and dining area. With air-conditioning to keep you comfy no matter the weather, you'll feel right at home.
We've even thrown in use of fluffy robes, slippers, and silk eye masks for that extra touch of decadence!

Ocean swimming is limited to a few very calm and flat-water days; we have strong tides and unpredictable currents. Once you see the beach you will understand! If you do happen to be here on a calm day, please be vigilant, there are no lifeguards on duty. There are a few nearby swim options: The lagoon in the river about 3km along the beach heading north, the Totara River about a 1km walk from the dome, or you could swim in Lake Mahinapua just a 10 min drive north of here. Our beach is fabulous for driftwood, fossicking, Pounamu and Penguin tracking! Plus, most of the year you can enjoy a beachside fire at our chillout zone by reception. Firewood & beanbags provided… all you need to do is bring the marshmallows 😊
We do offer unlimited Wi-Fi, it’s not the fastest or the strongest, and it is reliant on satellites, so on rainy, cloudy days it can be a challenge! Currently it is not available in the Domes, but we are working on that. Have you heard that a real person to person connection is a wonderful thing?
Yes, we have a couple of options available to you: If your battery is removable, feel free to charge inside your Dome, or if your battery is built into your ebike please bring the ebike to reception, where we have an area with power suitable to charge these bikes. Please DO NOT take your cycles inside the Domes. If you require lockable storage of your bike, please ask at reception. Should you be found to have taken cycles into the dome there will be a hefty fine payable.
