Luna

Raglan, Waikato


Luna is a unique Raglan accommodation in the Waikato, a 1 hour and 50 minutes drive from Auckland City and a 30-minute drive from Hamilton. The property is also home to Venus, another beautiful dome, and Lovebird Cottage.

Luna is a tranquil geodesic glamping dome blended into nature. Drift to sleep in a plush queen bed with lovely linens, then wake as sunlight streams through your picture-frame windows, bringing the outside world to your bedside. Warm wooden floors complement brass accents, while a botanical mural adorns the wall concealing your bathroom and kitchen.

A winding stream borders the property, creating a peaceful soundtrack to your stay, as well as a picturesque spot for a romantic picnic or a private soiree for two. With pathways meandering through lush greenery, the entire property feels like its own pretty park filled with touches of the wild.

Stroll down to the sheltered pavilion for magical BBQ evenings, or indulge in the alfresco shower and freestanding bathtub where you can soak while drinking in valley views and birdsong. A few more steps up the stone pathway lead you to a cedar barrel sauna.

After exploring the region or wandering the nearby nature trails and beaches, return to Luna and unwind in this secluded Raglan getaway.

Includes Sauna

Your hosts at Escape

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at Luna are Nadine and Jeff.

Nadine and Jeff, and their two children Faye and Stevie, have lived on the property for over a decade. Originally from Auckland, the family were looking for more of a country lifestyle with land and the chance to grow organic produce and produce meat, according to the permaculture principles.

Jeff is an electrician specialising in designing/installing solar power and off-grid systems. Nadine is a stay-at-home mum (and a professional cleaner!!) Watching the ‘food forest’ grow over the years has been one of the best experiences. And living near Raglan is the cherry on top as it's so convenient to the township and beautiful coastline.

The energy at the property is calm, and the bird song is lovely. The dome is big enough for two people to snuggle in together. Nadine & Jeff are so excited to share their beautiful spot with others to enjoy and to offer guests one of the best places to stay in Raglan.

“ We stayed at Luna for a two night getaway. It was just perfect. We loved the feeling of the dome and the setting in the country. The sauna was awesome with a stunning outlook. Outdoor bath under the full moon. Magic. Even in the middle of winter we were warm, cosy and relaxed. Not too far from Raglan town for a bite to eat and a look around the shops. Beautiful beach another short drive away. We would definitely stay again. ”
