The space Welcome to your geodesic dome at the Lavender farm, a quiet retreat tucked into the hills of Danseys Pass. This is a place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and spend time with people you care about. The dome comfortably sleeps 2–6 guests and is well suited for couples, families, or small groups. Inside, there’s a king bed, a spacious king-sized sofa bed, and a bunk bed — all within an open-plan space that’s filled with natural light and views of the mountains. You’ll find a fully equipped kitchenette with an induction stovetop, toaster, kettle, microwave, and the essentials for simple meals. We’ve also provided teas, coffee, muesli, milk, and spreads to help get you started in the mornings. Outside, there’s a private spa for soaking under the stars, a BBQ and outdoor seating for meals, and easy access to the river, where you can relax and take in the quiet. You're also welcome to use the shared woodfired sauna, just a short walk from your dome — a great way to warm up and wind down. At night, the skies here are especially clear. With no streetlights or traffic, the stars are easy to see — perfect for a bit of stargazing from the spa or your outdoor chairs. You’ll probably spot our sheep and horses around the property. They’re friendly and used to people, and you’re welcome to say hello if they come by. We aim to keep things simple and sustainable here. The dome has an eco-friendly composting toilet with a bidet attachment and an outdoor shower. You’ll also find heating, air conditioning, yoga mats, games, and a few cozy corners to relax in, no matter the weather. There’s no traffic noise, no roads running past — just the sound of the river, birds, and the occasional animal. We hope it helps you unwind. Enjoy your stay.
