Geodesic Domes: The Ultimate Off-Grid Nature Stay in Whanganui

Escape Ordinary, Step Into Extraordinary at Takahuri Glamping Domes

If you’re searching for a unique Whanganui Glamping experience, geodesic domes are the answer. Nestled in a new Redwood forest overlooking the Whanganui River, our off-grid domes combine eco-friendly design with modern comfort—offering the perfect escape for couples, friends or wellness seekers.

1. Architecture That Works With Nature

The geodesic design is not just beautiful—it’s built for strength and sustainability. We can thank  Buckminister Fuller for popularising the Geodesic Dome structure in the 1950’s with its triangular panels creating a lightweight yet resilient structure that can withstand the changing weather. Their rounded shape blends with the natural environment, giving you a stay that feels connected to the land.

2. Light, Space, and Mountain Views

Unlike standard accommodation, domes open up space in a unique way. Curved ceilings create a sense of freedom, while panoramic windows frame the forest and a view of the surrounding hills. Whether you’re watching the sunrise or stargazing at night, the views are unforgettable.

3. Comfort Meets Off-Grid Adventure

Our domes are fully off-grid, yet designed with your comfort in mind. Each dome includes a seperate private toilet and hand basin, while hot showers, a shared kitchen, and dining spaces bring a touch of luxury to the wilderness. It’s the perfect blend of nature and comfort—ideal for those seeking off-grid accommodation in NZ without roughing it.

4. Eco-Friendly By Design

Geodesic domes use fewer materials than traditional buildings and are naturally energy-efficient. The unique shape regulates temperature, keeping the domes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. If you’re looking for sustainable glamping in New Zealand, domes are the ideal choice.

5. A Stay That Feels Special

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a group trip with friends, or a wellness retreat in nature, domes create a sense of magic. Imagine sleeping beneath the stars, waking to birdsong in the Redwoods, or enjoying a fireside night with those you love.
