You’ll have a concrete outdoor bathtub to enjoy the view while relaxing and a hammock to stretch your legs under the open sky. But if you prefer cosy interiors, you can go for the queen-sized bed and a hot shower in the built-in bathroom just outside the dome.
The dome runs entirely on solar energy and a propane supply for heating and cooking, so you don’t have to worry about not having warm food or water. It even comes with a mini fridge to store perishables if you don’t want to cook and rely on packaged products.

This charming Stargazer bell tent offers an opportunity for its guests to look at night stars through the tent’s skylight. The front view from the wooden deck is of green pastures and Hale Koa trees.
