*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR WINTER BOOKINGS***
We have a few changes in the “dream stage” at The Yurt right now which means we have blocked off bookings from Dec - March 1 for the time being until we put more things into action and know how it will unfold. We intend to open these dates back up for bookings as soon as possible. You are welcome to waitlist your booking date Dec-Feb and we will notify you as soon as we can if it can go-ahead.
We will keep you posted here and our website when winter bookings will resume.
You are still able to book outside of these dates right now.
