My wife and I took our 4 year old daughter here because we'd seen the story unfold on Grand Designs - and it lived upto all our expectations! The welcome was friendly from one family to an other. The House it's self is just wonderful, the rooms are amazing and so we'll done! So stylish! We'll be back often if... More

We stayed in the Green Room for two nights in early April 13. Having seen Dome House on Grand Designs in Australia, we were excited to visit. We received a warm welcome from Mila, and our unexpectedly early arrival was accommodated with a smile. The room was first class and spotless, the view was stunning, and the hamper was amazing...

We stayed for our honeymoon in the green suite in late March and we had an exceptional stay. The hamper was a real treat with beautiful locally sourced, high quality produce. We even found a lovely bottle of prose go in there! I'd certainly recommend it and would love to stay again.

We have just returned from a weekend break (18th – 20th January 2013) in the amazing Dome House to celebrate our birthdays. The house itself is an amazing concept and incredibly beautiful when seen ‘live’ and you can see up close the astonishing imagination and sheer hard work that went into its creation. We stayed in the orange suite with... More

We arrived extremely tired at the Dome House after traveling non-stop from New Zealand. Milla and Robert made us very welcome but also recognized that we were basically out on our feet and left us alone to get settled in. A fabulous hamper of breakfast and other goodies suitable for gluten free (my husband) and dairy free (myself) was waiting... More

We had seen the house on "Grand Designs" and we interested to stay. We weren't disappointed. The house is very imposing. The view from the balcony was great. The room was comfortable (they bought us in a camp bed for our 6 year old). The breakfast hamper was very generous. They are happy for you to use their swimming pool... More

Booked the Dome suite for a special occasion and we weren't disappointed. Robert and Milla made us very welcome and it was a real privilege to share their home and dream. The thought and hard work that went into the design and build is apparent everywhere and I'd love to go back and see the other rooms sometime. Views of... More
