If there is ever a time you need a time out to reconnect with nature, in nature – then the Tulbagh Geodome is without a doubt the place to visit. It is an unusual accommodation setting, which is becoming more and more popular throughout the country. The dome itself is set on a tranquil 270-hectare farm called La Bruyere where peace and serenity are top of mind.
The galvanised dome sleeps two and has every creature comfort included but best of all is its location – tucked between the towering Witzenburg mountain range and a glorious lake. The deck outside the dome is set at varied levels to allow guests different views of the lush surroundings. It’s a truly magnificent view that deserves all the praise it gathers.
And in your tranquil surroundings, with the shimmering water in front of you and the sweet chirping sound of birds all around you – you can prepare dinner in a fully equipped kitchen then settle in for the night in a comfortable bed with the dome as your shelter from nature’s elements.
Features include an outdoor bath to watch the live star gazing show every night unless there is cloud disturbance.
Take a swim in the dam during the day or enjoy hiking trails around the farm. Fix yourself a picnic basket and grab some wine from the farm for a romantic interlude among the whispering trees and fragrant herb gardens.
The Geodome is best suited for couples, and is not child or dog friendly. This makes it the ideal place to escape for a break from the little ones or some long-overdue downtime with your better half. It ranks high on the romance scale.
The town of Tulbagh is nearby if you want to gander through and indulge in some great food to eat or leisurely wine-tastings. The historical town is known for great wine and friendly service.
And when you’re spent from the day you’ve just spent, snuggle up in the Geodome for an unforgettable experience right here in South Africa.
