The yurt is a wonderful hideout in Mt Madonna for a solo road trip, yet easy access to the beach. It could also be fun staying here with fam and friends. There are so many thoughtful touches to this place. It even has a kitchenette if you are up for cooking! The lighting is absolutely gorgeous. I like the outdoor bathhouse. I thought it could be cold, but it was totally fine even if I showered after sunset. I also really enjoyed the meditation garden on the property. Somehow this place makes me feel that the owner is trying to build a very inclusive community.
James is a wonderful host, he is super responsive to questions. Since I am a huge fan of succulents, he even allowed me to take some succulent cuttings from his garden. James gave me a tour of the property when I checked-in. I am still amazed by how much effort he puts into the yurt itself, the facilities around it.
Will come back in the summer 2021!
