The safari yurt is a super charming accommodation. My partner and I were looking for a place in nature where we could escape a bit from our city life. If you're hoping to really unplug and unwind, this is the spot for you. I was excited to find wildlife in the area that I don't normally see--deer, eagles, hawks, hummingbirds, and more. The view of the bay is absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend getting a bottle of wine and watching the sunset from the deck. At night, you can sit outside and watch the stars in a way that you can't do in the city. Just watch out for a few bugs!
The yurt is very comfortable and tidy. It is very open (with screens) and has a light-up dome (my favorite part). If you're an early riser, you'll love the sunrise. While you can't see it directly, the colors here in the morning are unbelievable, and with the gentle chirruping of birds, it is quite peaceful. The only things I had to get used to were the porta potty and water tank to wash dishes, but if you've camped or "glamped" before, this is no surprise. What was surprisingly enjoyable was the outside shower. It has both hot and cold water, and you still get a gorgeous view of the bay. It's also really private.
It rained one afternoon while we were there, so we couldn't go kayaking or down to the bay, so I would recommend bringing entertainment for those occasions, such as cards, travel chess, a board game, or downloaded moves on your device. And a portable charger may be helpful, too, because I didn't see wall plug-ins, though there is a USB plug-in. But we ended up not using it because we didn't need our phones so much.
Andrew is a great and friendly host who can offer suggestions of things to do in the area and is always available by phone. And if you need anything refilled or emptied, he will take care of it in a reasonable amount of time.
If you're truly itching to get a bit closer to civilization, there are a few small towns within a 15- to 25-minute driving radius, such as Hampton and Sussex, where we popped by for lunch. I would recommend Off The Rail Cafe in Sussex, and for kayaking, Go with the Flow River Adventures in Apohaqui.
