RETREAT SNAPSHOT
The BioHax Edit:
A geodesic dome perched on a 1,000-acre sheep farm near Mudgee. Solar-powered, off-grid, and designed for stargazing, solitude, and slow mornings with local wine in hand.
THE EXPERIENCE
This isn’t your average glamping setup. “Amaroo” meaning “beautiful place”, is a striking geodesic dome offering panoramic bushland views, a plush queen bed, and a front-row seat to the Milky Way. Inside, you’ll find a kitchenette, indoor fireplace, and eco-friendly amenities. Outside, a firepit awaits for evenings under the stars. Whether you’re exploring nearby wineries or simply soaking in the serenity, this is where luxury meets nature.
