Off grid experience
Positive: The dome was an experience for us. Spacious and clean. Driveway up was an experience but well worth it for the views.
We didnt see of hear anyone while there
Negative: Having to go outside for the toilet in the night and the shower was scalding hot.
·Wendy·January 2026
Positive: Amazing views and very peaceful surroundings
Negative: The driveway is really steep - a 4WD would be better or at least a little maintenance to make it easier to ascend as it was very rutted.

An unforgettable, peaceful stay that we can’t wait to revisit again.
Positive: My partner and I had an amazing stay at the Waipu Thunder Domes. The accommodation was unique, peaceful, and beautifully set in nature. Waking up to the stunning sunrise and falling asleep under the stars made the experience truly special. A perfect getaway, we would absolutely stay again.
