About this property

Waipu Luxury Glamping Dome, Perfect for an Outdoor Holiday

In just 1.5hrs from Auckland, you can unwind in a geodesic glamping dome that is perched on a hill with spectacular sea and countryside views. Wake to golden sunrises over the ocean, watch fiery sunsets fade to a starlit sky, and enjoy the privacy of your own cozy dome, outdoor shower, and eco-toilet. Romantic, rejuvenating, unforgettable.



In just over 1.5hrs hours from Auckland, your off-grid adventure awaits. Perched high on a hill, our rustic geodesic glamping dome is the perfect retreat to reconnect with nature. From your private perch, gaze out across rolling farmland that tumbles down to the glittering Pacific ocean. The gorgeous white sands of Uretītī beach is just 2 minutes drive or 25 minutes walk.



Soak up golden sunrises that rise over the ocean, watch the sky catch fire at sunset, and when darkness falls, lose yourself beneath thousands of stars in a crystal-clear sky.



Inside, your private dome offers a cozy bedroom, hammock, and heater to keep you warm and relaxed. Step just outside to your own luxurious shower and eco-friendly composting toilet, blending comfort with sustainability.



It’s glamping with a touch of magic—where the horizon stretches endlessly, and the sea is never out of sight.



Guests are free to take a look around the rest of the property, but please respect the other dome when guests are staying. We also live onsite :-)



Happy to answer questions if we are around, otherwise available on the app for any questions.



Beach, bush, free glowworm cathedral caves, waterfalls, quaint village with great coffee, pizza and beer bars.. what more could you want?



Like most rural areas you generally need a vehicle to get around. You can walk to the beach in about 25-30mins, but it is a rural road & involves crossing the busy SH1.



This is a rural property and it is glamping. 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 😊
