Step inside a truly unique four level dome designed for space, light and comfort. The main floor features open plan living with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge, along with a private master bedroom with ensuite. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer plenty of room to unwind. A loft level includes an office space with an additional single bed. Above this, a second loft offers a king bed plus a single floor mattress, while the top level is a peaceful retreat ideal for meditation, relaxation, reading or prayer.


The property is set in a peaceful rural area, so having a car is the most practical way to get around and explore the region. You’ll have easy driving access to New Plymouth, the coastline, and Mount Taranaki.

Public transport is available but more limited in rural locations. The Citylink bus network operates routes throughout New Plymouth and surrounding suburbs, connecting into the central city hub. Nearby main roads are serviced, though services are less frequent outside urban areas.

For convenience and flexibility, especially when visiting hiking trails and exploring the mountain, we recommend having your own vehicle during your stay.

We require a $500 security deposit hold.

We do not permit smoking inside the property. If you do violate this policy, we will charge you $300 for the additional cleaning services required.

Where do I start? From our first contact with Iliya, everything just kept getting better. Wonderful hosts, spectacularly amazing house with unique architecture! The space itself is lovely, warm and really feels comfortable for everyone from our 3 year old to the older adults! We loved that there is a dedicated prayer room on the top floor… the beautiful windows revealing the surrounds, including Mount Taranaki made the space perfect for contemplation. We also loved the small details, including the inclusion of hose bidets in the bathroom. This is very helpful and inclusive of Eastern cultures where washing is the norm! As for the scenery… on one side is the beautiful west coast of New Zealand, with amazing sunsets and on the other is Mount Taranaki in all its majesty. As for nights, the lack of light in the surrounds of the property allows for perfect observation of the night sky and the stars. A must indeed if you are staying… just step out, and look up!!! We were also very lucky to be greeted by the beautiful horses of the neighbouring property who kept visiting us at the fence and seemed very approachable. The neighbours are also very lovely and keen for a good chat on a quiet day. Overall, this has been our best stay away from home - it’s private, it’s serene, it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you Iliya for making this possible and looking forward to come back in the future!
