It was quiet and spacious for the two of us. Felt like a really good escape away from devices. We watched the sky all night! Such a great way to stargaze.

We didn't end up having breakfast in the end but it looked great!!

Staff very lovley and welcoming. We were unsure on times we would arrive and leave and they catered for us exceptionally. Prepared breakfast for us for our early morning. I couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Leaving

I liked that you don't park your cars near each dome. It's more intimate and fun having the wee carts to take your belongings to your dome. Beautiful spot

Variety for breakfast

We rented two domes during winter, and although we arrived late, everything was well-prepared. The heaters were already on, making the space warm and cozy the moment we stepped inside- well done to the team for the thoughtful setup! They also made sure we had all the information we needed. The dome itself was comfortable, and the bed was cozy, we had a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was simple just eggs, toast, and bacon. We were hoping for a bit more variety, maybe some sausages, mushrooms, or hash browns to round it out. Hopefully, they’ll consider expanding the options next time. That said, we had a fantastic overall experience and would happily come back again! 😊

Would have loved to use the spa, but didn't realise it was there until the next morning. That's on me though.

Set adjacent to a camping ground and close to Lake Hawea the 'Tent's were supremely comfortable, beautifully appointed and staff extremely helpful. It was lovely to lie in luxury in the bed, the fire warming us and see the stars through the tent 'Window. Being double-skinned it was warm and inviting. We were completely unaware of other guests. Breakfast, cooked by the resident chef was a magnificent take on eggs Benny, as well as the usual continental offerings. I can't wait to go back.

NA I cannot wait to go back

If I could give this place 100 stars out of 10, I would. I feel so lucky that my friend and I snagged a night here - it was hands down the nicest place we stayed in New Zealand. The dome is massive - plenty of space for two people to spread out. The bed is new and comfortable - there is a separate 'closet' space and luggage rack for each person including robe and slippers. Dome includes a full blown coffee station with espresso machine and luxury teas. And the breakfast is delicious - hash browns, poached eggs, sprouts(!!), fresh squeezed OJ, and they give you your own carafe of coffee. The lake is a 5 min walk and with a full moon, it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen (note: this moonlight also pours into your dome through transparent ceiling). The beach nearby has few people and there is a sauna (we skipped this and swam at the beach anyways). Will at front desk came out to meet us and help us with directions/bags to our dome, and the owners were there offering us appetizers. Digby the pupper was also part of the wonderful welcome committee - it was the best arrival experience I've had in years. Richard (Rick?) the owner also recommended what we should do the next day (Siberian Experience), and it was also one of the best things we did on our trip. If there is availability here, do not hesitate to book it. Lovely spot and very special humans. Will even brought me a brownie when I was working late and on calls. Big thanks to everyone at Cross Hill for the unforgettable stay!

Awesome Breakfast. Sarah was very helpful with early checkin. She also helped us getting our flat tire fixed.

Would recommend to organize the breakfast a bit more, we had to wait quite some time for our breakfast and people who joined the table later than us got served first.. As we were on a tight schedule and had planned to start the day early with a long hike and long drive afterwards we had to reschedule some plans.

Fantastic stay!!

Incredible stay. Beautiful room with a great view of the mountains. Bed was extremely comfortable and the fire place was a nice touch. Only a 15 minute drive to Wanaka and a short walk to Lake Hawea. 10/10. Wish we’d stayed longer!

nothing. it's a must visit

Absolutely everything was excellent. My husband and I booked only 1 night and regret not staying for longer. We booked the hot tub and the experience was amazing. The staff Gloria helped us but adding more wood to the hot tub and made it like a camp fire in the hot tub. She brought us some marshmallows which we roasted while we were in the tub. It rained the whole night and the sound of rain was lovely. The heated bathroom floor and fireplace helped us stay warm.

If you’re a fan of good coffee, bring your own favourite Nespresso pods; they’re provided, but this one small thing was not especially high quality.

Truly wonderful experience! Everything about the glamping tents is very well designed and every possible need anticipated. Warm, cosy, modern, efficient, handsome… even elegant! This takes “glamping” to a five-star level. We’ll definitely be back.

The Domes are on a shared campsite. They are in their own private area however.

Plenty of room and well equipped. Super comfortable bed. Lovely complimentary breakfast in the morning which was a good opportunity to meet fellow travellers.

The location in or near a campground was disappointing. Not the pretty view I was expecting.

The dome was a different experience. The hostess was very friendly. The food was very good.

We are family of 5, booked 2 room but cannot add extra bed. So 1 of us need to sleep alone at campsite while a bit far away from us.

The room is nice! Sleep with the sky with a lot of star. Toilet is fancy and tiny, and we had a relax and chill breakfast!

Stayed in January 2023

nothing really! but didn’t realise there is a campground just below the domes so the domes are facing the camping tents etc and you can sort of hear the people talking, playing music etc but this did not affect our stay anyway it was still spectacular!

EVERYTHING. The domes are spectacular I’ve never seen anything like it before it has everything you need! it’s luxurious! plus you get delicious free breakfast every day!!

The neighbors played music and talked loudly until night. The sound isolation is not enough. A moth was in the room. There was no curtain for the main window.

The property is surrounded by wonderful nature. Could see the starry sky from the room. The interior was great.
