We had a lovely stay at the Dome. The room was spacious and clean, also very quite. The Dome is in walking distance to cafés, hot pools, cocktail bar... which made our time there very enjoyable, my husband isn't able to walk a lot so the position was wonderful. Thankyou we will stay again .

The Deco Decant unit at The Dome was really nice! Beautiful views of the ocean and Napier. It’s a very spacious, clean, newly renovated and nicely furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment, with a washer and dryer even. Very comfortable king beds and soft robes were very appropriated. The dining room in the top dome room is quite neat too. We would love to stay there again.

10/10 Stayed in Pacific Room 2. A stunning apartment with ocean views. The separate bedroom is larger than most hotel rooms. A small but functional kitchen if you want to have home-made meals, but the apartment is also located just minutes away from multiple excellent restaurants and cafes. Also very close to the main retail shopping area. One of the best stays I have had on my travels in New Zealand. Highly recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staying at The Dome Is a unique experience. It’s not a hotel but more like an art deco apartment, ample space, well equipped kitchen and wonderfully clean. Things to note, there’s no parking so you need to park along the street which is $1 an hour for max 2 hours so affordable, there’s room service or housekeeping and no swimming pool and beach is not really swimmable so kids maybe a bit disappointed. However, location with many restaurant options and views are great.
