Buying a dome is a big decision. We make the process simple, transparent and stress-free — with local support you can rely on.
More than a product. Peace of mind.
We're Dave and Julie — a New Zealand couple who believe great spaces create unforgettable experiences.
After building and operating our own dome accommodation, we saw how life-changing these spaces can be.
Now we help others create their own.
Dave & Julie
We'll always give you honest, practical advice — even if a dome isn't the right fit.
We choose domes we'd be happy to stay in ourselves. Because we do.
Local support from a team that understands your environment and needs.
You're not just an order number.
We're here before, during and after your purchase.
We provide clear, upfront pricing in NZD with all major costs included. No surprises.
We take care of shipping, customs clearance and delivery to your nearest depot.
Talk to a real person in New Zealand who understands your project and environment.
Our domes are engineered for strong winds and tough conditions – tested and proven.
High-quality materials and engineering for long-term performance and comfort.

Buying direct from overseas might seem cheaper at first, but hidden costs, risks and lack of support can quickly add up over time.

Our journey started when we built a geodesic dome on our property in the Coromandel.
We use it as guest accommodation, and it quickly became one of our favourite places — peaceful, comfortable, and connected to nature in a way traditional buildings just can't match.
We loved the experience so much, we decided to help other Kiwis create their own.
That's why we started Dome Living — to make the process of buying, importing and setting up a dome in New Zealand simple, transparent and stress-free.
Real people. Real experience. Real support.
