The view from this dome is straight across Hanmer Plains to Mount Balfour. To the left Mount Isobel is visible with the village of Hanmer Springs below, and to the right you are looking towards Mount Lyford.
Balfour Geodome is the second of our three glamping pods at Hanmer Glamping. This dome has the most sweeping view of the plains. The secluded garden is set to the side of the pod, and has it’s own outdoor seating area, BBQ and woodfired hot tub. In the spring, the crab apple tree puts on a stunning display of blossom. The garden has a feijoa hedge – help yourself to these if they are in season!
There is a designated parking space approximately 80m from the dome. The dome is accessed by three steps onto a small deck. If you need help with your luggage that is no problem, and we have a luggage trolley which you are welcome to use, or we can give you a hand.
Balfour Geodome is nestled amongst trees and flax bushes, so you are guaranteed to hear the birds. Tui love the flax in spring, while our resident bell birds make themselves heard. Fantails will join you in the garden, and at dusk there are frequently quail on the lawn.
