A Home, A Dream
Tucked away in the elevated hills of Papakura, South Auckland, our glamping site rests on land that whispers stories from centuries past. Just beside us lies an ancient Māori pā site—once a thriving fortified village, now a place of quiet heritage. The surrounding nature is full of gentle surprises:you might wood pigeons gliding through the sky, hear the melodic call of a Tui from the trees, and bright-feathered Red-crowned parakeets dart across the greenery.On the farm, curious alpacas roam gently, sometimes becoming your first visitors of the morning.
I’m Grace, originally from China. Before moving to New Zealand, I lived in France. and I've always found joy in singing and songwriting—it’s how I express myself and stay connected to what matters. Music is also what brought me to Jack,my husband. Later on, I crossed oceans to this quiet land, where we began a new life together—and together, we dreamed of something more.
At first, we simply welcomed friends to stay. And every time they left, they said the same thing:
“This place is magical—you should share it with more people.”
Those words stayed with us. Slowly, a dream began to take shape—a space where others could reconnect with nature and themselves.
And so, Stellar Glamping was born.
We built two domes, each a reflection of our hearts and spirits.
One is Amour Dome, soft and romantic—where love quietly blooms.
The other is Nomad Dome, light-filled and free-spirited—a symbol of curiosity and the call of the unknown.
One is rooted in emotion, the other in aspiration.
We poured these feelings into every detail of the design—from the shimmering walls that reflect soft light at night, to skylights that bloom into kaleidoscopic wonder under the stars.
By day, the domes bathe in sun and breeze.
By night, they glow quietly beneath the sky.
They are more than a place to rest—they are the continuation of a story.
A place to slow down, to breathe again,
to share simple, precious moments with someone you love.
We hope this is a place where you can slow down, enjoy the simple things, and spend meaningful time with the people you care about.
It’s a small dream—but it’s one we’ve built with care.
And maybe, it can be part of your story too.

This is what our land used to look like—before Stellar Glamping even existed.
Back then, it was just a peaceful farm surrounded by trees, open space, and birdsong.
When we first saw this place, we felt the same quiet magic you see in this photo.
