I recommend the yurt to everyone. We were apprehensive at first about getting up the mountain, but it was totally fine and our hire car capable! We still can't believe the views and how beautiful it was. Outdoor kitchen, bathroom made it somewhat chilly in the rain but there's something calming about being out there. The kitchen had everything you need, and the bath/shower thst over looks the mountain is the best thing I've ever seen. The yurt was warm and comfortable. The toilet was great, considering it is a compost toilet. Tessa and Remko are lovely, even if our encounter with them was brief. They communicated everything before we arrived and after we did.
We left feeling peaceful and more at one with the earth and each other. I admire their way of living and still can't believe what they've created in the middle of the mountains. So tranquil and really a little piece of paradise. We wish we had stayed longer and can't wait to go back. Also the town of Motueka has everything you need :)
