Had no real issues with the property. Learnt a few things about wood heaters. The kids found the swing set was un-anchored and nearly tipped it. should probably anchor it into concrete. Also had the battle of YouTube vs the neighbour Yurt's Amazon Prime account on our TV - annoying, but used the hotspot to stop the issue. Thank you!
Beds very uncomfortable - in the booking I noted we had an adult and two children staying (10 & 12)
There was one double bed and a pull out couch sofa bed. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable- you could feel all the springs and it sinks into the middle. There was also no extra bedding (sheets and blankets) provided and it got pretty chilly at night
We will not be staying there again

Hi Lisa
We are sorry you were disappointed with your stay
The web site clearly notes one Double Bed and one double Sofa bed
Extra blankets are provided in the drawers in the lounge room.
If you were cold there is a reverse cycle air con unit that you could have turned on to hot air
We live next door and are disappointed that you did not call in or ring us
re the extra blanket location
Thanks for staying with us
We loved our stay here. The accommodation was unique and so very clean and was close to all the attractions we wanted to see. We hiked all the National parks and sampled wine and food. Would recommend and would love to stay again.

Yurk central, Beautiful structure inside & out.
Very impersonal as thier is no welcome or greet. Just emails.
My 1st experience as a guest with Stayz. Not my way off welcome or hospitality, even While giving guests privacy. Thank you.

Due to Covid19 we have a contact less check in according to the The Qld Health Rules. We don't want Covid19 coming to our area at Stanthorpe
What kind of Welcome or Greet do you want. We sent you by mail a list of of things to see and do in our area. about 4 pages I think.
No other accommodation business does this as far as I know :)
We will continue to have a contact less check in, for everyone's Health
Thanks for Staying at Namar Yurt Stanthorpe
