About this property

Yurt @ the cape hole in the rock accommadation

The yurt has one queen bed and a queen pull out sofa bed (note the yurt and sofa bed are in the same room) Stunning views over the Ocean Steeples & Famous hole in the rock. Short walk to the Seal colony walk and surf spots. 1 min walk to the famous Star Tavern for some great service, local beers & food. I own a surf school and can hook you up with surf lessons, paddle boarding trips for a fee. Kayaks and bikes for hire also. We have some great surf here & stunning rivers to SUP down. Some amazing bike trails too.

    Sleep to the sound of the waves
    Beautiful, clean and comfy. First time ever in a yurt and we were not disappointed. The view of the Tazman Sea was only surpassed by the sound of her waves crashing. Highly recommend.

    This yurt is a gem with a stunning view of the ocean. It was cozy and had everything we needed during our short stay. It was surprisingly quiet during a heavy rain, too!

    Fabulous Yurt Experience
    Amazingly unique experience to stay in a Yurt. Unfortunately due to ferry delays we didn’t arrive in time to experience the amazing sunset. Location of the yurt was excellent in relation to the hole in the rock. We were a group of 4 and although there was a fold out couch for an extra bed option, we felt the Yurt was more suited to a couple. Great separate kitchen and bathroom facilities. Everything was clean and tidy. I would stay again, with more time to enjoy the surroundings.

    Fantastic, highly recommended
    We were very impressed, and will definitely plan a return visit. I made a mistake with my booking and had thought I had booked two nights, meaning we went out enjoying the sights when we should have already left the yurt ready for the cleaner to clean. Owner and cleaner handled my mistake very professionally. Will recommend and hope to get a chance to stay again.

    Love the Yurt!,
    We loved the yurt. Was the only property with the ocean just down from backyard. Using the separated bathroom was a little of a nuisance but we are so glad we were there.

    Magical place to stay
    The yurt is perfect, with the most stunning views of the ocean imaginable. We arrived and left in a very heavy storm, and while we would have preferred a bit of sun and calm, the view and experience of the storm there was spectacular! My only regret is that we didn't have more time there. Highly recommended!

    fantastic experience at Cape Foulwind
    Our family of four had a wonderful night at Ray's yurt - the accommodation / general set up was extremely comfortable and cosy and we loved waking up to the gorgeous views. As others have mentioned, our only regret was not staying longer as there is a lot to explore in the area.

    Fantastic, calm, and relaxing
    We (family of 4) enjoyed the whole stay of 2 nights and felt very at home from the first second. The view, the beach, the birds (quite loud), the waves (good to hear), and the calm area let us relax instantly. The kitchen is well aquited and everything was very clean. We recommand staying a week and not only 2 nights ;-)
