Waipū Thunder Domes no.2 luxury eco glamping dome

The Dome was just great

The shower could do with a sail covered area to change and hang clothes for post shower. Cold weather makes it unpleasant returning to the dome with just a towel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , everything was perfect the bed was amazing x

So peaceful

Was well styled and comfortable. Lots of blankets provided for extra warmth.

I understand it is a work in progress but considering there has been over 200 guests now it could do with a little polishing around the edges. A few small things like making sure all the facilities work, clearer instructions on how to troubleshoot gas bottles/regulators/califonts (as they seem to be challenging regularly amongst guests) and a small thing of milk would go a long way. Even some more lighting as eating dinner in the dark is a challenge. Ensuring all crockery/glasses are cleaned properly in between guests as they were so greasy and oily the bowls slipped out of my hands and broke. Our shower also was not working for the duration of our stay. The grounds were flooded so by the time we unpacked and managed to calm our dog down after being harassed by the neighbours dog we were covered in mud with no working shower. I suspect the hosts knew this prior to our arrival. Had we known about the shower we would’ve cancelled or made other plans. The hosts offered us to use their shower or wait till the next day to use the second domes shower. The hosts did have hand/foot/mouth disease so using their shower was not something we felt comfortable with. They only disclosed this after they had appeared suddenly and started touching all of the showers/taps and cleaning products. This made us wary of touching anything else inside our dome as we did not want to catch it. We had to cut our stay short a night as it was far too wet to be enjoyable. The hosts did refund us $40 for the inconvenience caused.
