The yurt was cool! Very high tech; it has electricity, a tv with steaming services, lighting, wifi, hot water/sink, and a compost toilet. Note: make sure the outside latch to the bathroom doesn’t close when you shut the door or else you will be stuck inside! Thankfully my boyfriend heard me yelling for him at 4 am but it was still scary at first lol.
This yurt is a lot more “on-grid” than expected but definitely a lot of nice touches. You will totally feel comfortable and like not you’re missing anything. Very much so glamping! Not far from town, and only 3 minutes away from the Black Cap Trailhead - highly recommended, it’s absolutely beautiful, 360 mountains views at the top.
Only complaint is how visible the yurt is from the road during the daytime, every single person going by looked at us if we were outside. Hurricane road was busier than expected, even at night. Be careful on the road, as listed it’s very steep and windy, hard to find at night as the coordinates listed only bring you about 1/2 mile up the road but you need to continue for about another 1/2 mile after that. Thankfully there were tiki torches lit up or else we would’ve never found it! Again this was only due to arriving late and in the dark (totally on us). Overall a great location and very well thought out yurt. You won’t be disappointed!
