AustraliaTo celebrate my husband’s birthday, we planned a three-night getaway, searching for a tranquil and peaceful retreat not far from Raglan. We’ve never stayed in a yurt before, so the anticipation of a new experience added to the excitement. As we approached our destination, the scenery took our breath away—rolling landscapes stretched before us and beautiful waterways tucking in and out, simply stunning. From the moment we arrived, our hosts greeted us warmly, and it was clear this was going to be a special weekend.
When we stepped inside the yurt, I was amazed. The space was much larger than I expected, and everything was thoughtfully designed for comfort. While every detail exceeded our expectations, a couple of moments stood out that made our stay truly unforgettable:
1. The Symphony of Nature: Spending the day surrounded by birds singing was pure bliss. Whether it was soaking in the spa bath, losing myself in a good book, or just sitting quietly, the peacefulness of the surroundings was magical.
2. A Taste of Freshly Caught Delights: Our hosts went fishing during our stay and generously shared their catch. We were treated to freshly smoked Kahawai, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to our experience.
If you’re looking for a serene retreat and a unique experience, we wholeheartedly recommend this spot. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and immerse yourself in nature.
