Q: What are earth domes at Solscape?

Earth domes are round, hand-built cabins made from earth, with a skylight to the stars. At Solscape they sleep 2 to 4 people from $150 a night and are one of the property's signature stays — grounding, characterful and warm.

Make a day into a weekend. Sleep in a hand-built earth dome or a restored railway caboose, tucked among the gardens with the coast a short walk away.
