Just steps away, is the cosy firepit area with natural rock seating invites you to relax under the stars and reconnect with your loved one. There are no kitchen or wifi facilities at the dome, but you’re welcome to bring picnic-style food, an esky, and outdoor cooking gear, please note cooking inside the dome is not allowed.



The dome features specially designed curtains that wrap around the interior, allowing you to open them fully to soak in the panoramic views or close them for complete privacy, while a central ceiling panel remains uncovered, offering an uninterrupted view of the stars above.



While the dome may get windy or noisy, it is one of the safest structures to experience strong winds.
