About

About this getaway

Blue Springs Glamping offers a unique off-grid experience in a geodesic dome nestled along the banks of the Te Waihou River in Putaruru, Waikato. This eco-friendly accommodation is just steps away from the renowned Blue Springs walkway, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the stunning natural beauty of New Zealand. The insulated dome features a comfortable king bed with full linen, ensuring a cozy night's sleep under the stars. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the river sounds during the day and the soothing ambiance of nature at night. The outdoor camp kitchen, composting toilet, and outdoor shower provide essential amenities while maintaining a connection to the surrounding environment. A wood-fired cedar soaking tub invites relaxation and stargazing, making it an ideal retreat for couples. Access to the property involves an off-road transfer from secure parking through a working farm, enhancing the sense of adventure. Blue Springs Glamping is a budget-friendly option for those traveling between Auckland, Rotorua, and Hamilton, with opportunities for trout fishing and optional catering available. Direct booking is encouraged via phone or email, ensuring a personalized experience.

At Blue Springs Glamping, the dome is the view — a geodesic shelter on a working farm above one of the clearest spring-fed rivers in New Zealand. Nikki hosts couples who want off-grid atmosphere without sacrificing a comfortable king bed, hot shower, and a proper camp kitchen with BBQ, outdoor oven, and pantry basics.
