The views were a huge highlight, definitely worth the drive up from town! We enjoyed sharing the spot with a variety of birds, including tui, weka and the mischievous kea. It was a very relaxing stay, easy for first-time yurt goers, especially with some really great weather (although that didn't stop us from enjoying the wood stove for cozy evenings). The mattress was a bit on the hard side for us, but that was really the only thing we would have changed.
