About this property

Yurt @ the cape hole in the rock accommadation

The yurt has one queen bed and a queen pull out sofa bed (note the yurt and sofa bed are in the same room) Stunning views over the Ocean Steeples & Famous hole in the rock. Short walk to the Seal colony walk and surf spots. 1 min walk to the famous Star Tavern for some great service, local beers & food. I own a surf school and can hook you up with surf lessons, paddle boarding trips for a fee. Kayaks and bikes for hire also. We have some great surf here & stunning rivers to SUP down. Some amazing bike trails too.

Fabulous Yurt Experience

Amazingly unique experience to stay in a Yurt. Unfortunately due to ferry delays we didn’t arrive in time to experience the amazing sunset. Location of the yurt was excellent in relation to the hole in the rock. We were a group of 4 and although there was a fold out couch for an extra bed option, we felt the Yurt was more suited to a couple. Great separate kitchen and bathroom facilities. Everything was clean and tidy. I would stay again, with more time to enjoy the surroundings.

Fantastic, highly recommended

We were very impressed, and will definitely plan a return visit. I made a mistake with my booking and had thought I had booked two nights, meaning we went out enjoying the sights when we should have already left the yurt ready for the cleaner to clean. Owner and cleaner handled my mistake very professionally. Will recommend and hope to get a chance to stay again.

Fantastic, calm, and relaxing

We (family of 4) enjoyed the whole stay of 2 nights and felt very at home from the first second. The view, the beach, the birds (quite loud), the waves (good to hear), and the calm area let us relax instantly. The kitchen is well aquited and everything was very clean. We recommand staying a week and not only 2 nights ;-)

fantastic experience at Cape Foulwind

Our family of four had a wonderful night at Ray's yurt - the accommodation / general set up was extremely comfortable and cosy and we loved waking up to the gorgeous views. As others have mentioned, our only regret was not staying longer as there is a lot to explore in the area.

Well designed and unique accommodation

This place was very private and also very well designed. We really enjoyed the tranquility and just being away from our daily grind for a couple of nights. Ray was very timely in his responses to our queries and was very accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Sea view from the Bed! Cosily Warm in the Middle of Winter

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, where it is positioned you cannot hear a single car only the sound of the waves breaking from the sea. Beautiful view, if you leave the curtains open then you can see right out to sea from the bed! In the middle of winter, even with the rain the Yurt stay super warm and cosy. The place was immaculately clean with very nice modern appliances

Beyond all our expectations!

We just fell in love with this beautiful property. The yurt was spectacular. Warm and cosy on what was a very chilly and dreary summers day. We had everything we needed for a hugely memorable family experience. Our nine year old loved it. The roar of the waves was something else. We will definitely be back!

Unique and lovely place!

Traveling with my parents and weren’t sure how they would like staying in a yurt but they loved it! More lux than I would’ve imagined! Lovely view of the Tasman sea, as well as a walkway along the cliffs and one down to the sand. We got there right as the sun was setting and it was beautiful. Definitely recommend getting there before sunset to be able to relax and watch it. Super amazing stargazing of the milky way at night! We only stayed one night, if we had more time on our trip we would have loved to stay another night or two :)

Sleep to the sound of the waves

Beautiful, clean and comfy. First time ever in a yurt and we were not disappointed. The view of the Tazman Sea was only surpassed by the sound of her waves crashing. Highly recommend.
