Te Tuhi Dome is set just 15 minutes from Taupō, near Kinloch Bay, and sleeps 2 people.

Set on Te Tuhi Hillside Retreat (the same property as the popular Te Tuhi Hut), the Dome sits on a hillside with views across farmland, native bush, and down to Lake Taupō. Both the hut and the dome are completely private and set on different parts of the property.

The Dome is a large geodesic structure containing a gorgeous bedroom and lounging space. On one side of the dome, a few metres away is a kitchen building. On the other side, is a luxurious outdoor bathroom space. Amazing views down to Lake Taupō are visible from every area.

At dawn and dusk, the bush is alive with birdsong. Depending on the season, lambs and calves frolic in the paddocks around the campsite. The cows, sheep and horses grazing and chickens foraging make for a peaceful country vista to sit back and enjoy.

If you feel like exploring, the Taupō region has so much to offer. Restaurants, cafes, and galleries are plentiful. Geothermal wonders like the Wairakei Terraces hot pools and the Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park are only a short drive away. And of course, the lake itself offers activities like kayaking, sailing or swimming.

Te Tuhi Dome is a unique and comfortable glamping experience, but it is still a form of camping! If you're booking a stay in winter - bring your sense of adventure and be prepared for the elements.
