Space
Tucked away in the heart of the lush Maitlands coastal forest, overlooking serene bass dams that shimmer in the afternoon light, this one-of-a-kind Star Dome offers an unforgettable retreat for nature lovers and dreamers alike. Wake up to birdsong and golden rays streaming through the trees, wrapped in the comfort of a queen-sized bed dressed in soft, luxurious linens. Slip into a plush gown and slippers before stepping into your day of total relaxation. Outside, a Jan Braai invites you to cook under the stars, while a wood-fired hot tub promises magical evenings soaking beneath the forest canopy. Float in the air hammock, suspended between earth and sky, as the breeze whispers through the leaves. Inside the dome, the decor echoes the natural beauty outside—wood textures, leafy greens, and tranquil tones bring the coastal forest right to your doorstep. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to feel at home: a Nespresso machine for slow mornings, an air fryer for effortless meals, a fridge, and an induction stove. The bathroom features a soaking tub for quiet moments, as well as a refreshing outdoor shower that lets you rinse off under open skies. When it’s time to wind down, enjoy fast Wi-Fi and a motorized TV lift with access to your favorite streaming services—perfect for cozy movie nights in bed.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a peaceful solo retreat, or a base for exploring the surrounding nature, this dome offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and wilderness magic.
