This Dome was amazing. The hospitality from Sandy was amazing. The location and the amenities exceeded all of our expecations. The view from the dome window was one of the most beautiful morning we woke up to on our trip. To top things off, the breakfast from Sandy was more than exceptional. Homemade baked goods, fresh fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice.

Fantastic property, incredibly clean, welcoming (with Sandy who made every part of our stay so easy), and fantastic breakfast spread. The hot tub was great and we loved the bed! We also loved meeting Benji and will need to come back!

Thoroughly loved our stay here. We booked the small yurt and loved the views - spectacular sunset! It’s close to the QCT and even though it’s a bit of a hike down, it’s so worth it. Do order Ian’s pizza - so amazingly good! And the breakfast was special! It’s such a welcoming environment and a great place to enjoy the bird life. We even walked down to the waterfront and had a swim! We should’ve booked an extra night!

The pictures do not do justice. This little gem is beautifully situated on the farm, and alpaca and sheep visit whenever you shake the food provided by the owner. The house has everything you need. The bed was super comfortable. It’s decorated so nicely- I took pictures to replicate some of the decor when I return home to my summer cottage. It’s very close to the town center but you would never know it-it’s peaceful and serene. Need I say more…?

This spot is amazing and almost surreal in it’s amazing surroundings. We had their hired chef fix our dinner - highly recommend it. Superb! We wouldn’t change a thing, it was absolutely fabulous.

As a solo traveller, this place was a true paradise for me. The actual setting is even more beautiful than the photos I saw online before my stay. Once I settled in, I immediately felt surrounded by the love the hosts have poured into this place — the welcoming nature, the serene warmth, and the strong sense of privacy, even around the outdoor shower. It felt wonderful. There are some small instructions to follow, but they’re all very clear and easy. The property itself feels like an attraction, so it’s worth coming a little earlier to enjoy everything it offers. If your schedule is fully packed and you only want a place to sleep, you might find the instructions a bit inconvenient. This is really a place for people who want to slow down, soak in the beautiful nature, and spend time enjoying the lovely garden and the birds around. There is a stream next to the tent, and you can hear it throughout the day and night. The hosts provide earplugs, but it wasn’t a problem for me at all — in fact, I slept extremely well, recharged by the energy of nature.

Truly wonderful experience! Everything about the glamping tents is very well designed and every possible need anticipated. Warm, cosy, modern, efficient, handsome… even elegant! This takes “glamping” to a five-star level. We’ll definitely be back.

A wonderful location , so close to town yet so very private, tucked in out of the wind with amazing sunset views. My wife loved the outdoor bath under the stars . . Every thing was well thought out and we had everything we needed .We had spent our previous 5 nights in a “luxury” hotel in Dunedin but to us this was , though different, a great deal better . Even the bedding and pillows were better and the room size not that much different .A great place to stay . Gerald and Tricia

Close to nature , beautiful, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He baked amazing bread and croissants every morning, came and picked us up from various places and lent us his kayaks and bikes. He was truly friendly and a lovely person. The vibe of the place is in tune with nature. At night you can watch the beautiful sunset from the comfort of an outdoor sofa and slow right down to the rhythm of the earth.
