Please note our home is also on the property along with our 2 very friendly dogs.

Home away from home with luxury linen, cozy wood fire, freshly baked bread, eggs and starter breakfast provisions.

There are fire trails and bush walks that continue along the mountain ridge to Bemboka Ridge one way and to the Walls in the other direction. Native flora and fauna are in abundance. The elusive lyrebird, lace monitors, wombats, bower birds building nests, echidnas and of course a variety of parrots and other birds.

At the front of the property is the Bemboka River with a large swimming hole and waterfall to explore. Take a walk along the road to Happy Valley and enjoy the beauty and peace of the local countryside with many opportunities for photographs. At night you can go spotlighting and see owls, wombats and possums or just soak up the beauty of the night sky.

A nature and bird-lovers paradise with bush trails for nature walks and a natural swimming hole in the river to explore. Enjoy spectacular views, a variety of birdlife, echidnas, wombats, farm animals and large shady fenced gardens for the discerning pet. Cycling, walking, relaxing.
Short 30 minute drive to pristine beaches, fishing, cafes and shops and galleries.

Locally, on the Sapphire coast, there is swimming, fishing, horse riding, canoeing, grape and fruit wineries, art galleries and craft studios, the famous Bega Cheese Factory, Bemboka Pie shop, Tathra Wharf, Candelo markets and of course whales in season. Our beaches are pristine and uncrowded and there are many leash free beach areas for pets.

Outstanding Yurt Stay
On arrival, we were greeted by a loaf of bread baking, and fresh eggs, butter and milk just for us! We were touched by these lovely gestures. Loved exploring your farm. Also a great base for a day at the beach, only 30-45 min drive. Thank you.

Long weekend escape
We had a lovely relaxing stay with our two dogs where we could take them for walks and a swim in the river. At night we had the wonderful log fire which kept the cottage warm and cosy. The smell of freshly baked bread was a lovely welcome! Would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway
A secluded, well-presented yurt full of character and amenities. You can hear the Bemboka River crashing over rocks as you stroll along the access road. Short drives to local towns and beaches. Well worth the stay.

Great family holiday
The yurt was very clean and comfortable. A perfect size for a family of four. Our kids and dog loved the huge enclosed backyard to run around and play in. We enjoyed walking to the Bemboka river and exploring the rocks. The DVDs and games kept us entertained. Overall a nice short relaxing family getaway, which is what we needed.

Great break away
My husband and our 2 dogs stayed for 3 nights. It was a lovely stay amd was wonderfully quiet. Just what we needed. Lovely to wake up hearing the cows mooing and birds chirping. Highly recommend. Lovely place to get away from it all. Liz and stephen fowler.

Country Bliss
Lovely few days in the country. Yurt was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The freshly baked bread, breakfast supplies and chocolates were a bonus! We had several sightings of echidnas which was extra special. Loved the poddy lambs, miniature cows, alpacas and doggos. The hosts were very helpful and we were taken on a drive along the fire trail at the back of the property which was very exhilarating! Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing, quiet location
Loved our stay at morans crossing in the Yurt cottage! The cottage and yard are great for the whole family and had everything we needed - including fresh bread in the bread maker on arrival! The huge yard is beautifully maintains and was perfect for our Pomeranians ollie and Marlie. Karyn and Jeff went above and beyond when we realised one of the dogs was tiny enough to fit through the gate, and immediately doggy proofed this for us! Location is set about 20-25 minutes out of town, but we loved the drive. We also loved going down to the creek for a swim in the afternoons.

Highly recommended
So lovely and quiet, very easy check-in, didn’t feel like we were on someone’s property at all, so private and the best secure yard for pets that we’ve ever experienced. The cottage was set up in such a homely, cozy way and had enough breakfast supplies for hubby and I for our entire stay (not just the first morning). And the fresh bread still baking on our arrival was amazing!! Not to mention everything else that was also available to ensure a comfortable stay, whether relaxing inside or out - it was very refreshing to not have to go buy basics such as water, tissues, bug repellent etc. Very thoughtfully appointed. Bed linen and bath towels were fresh and lovely and soft as well. Location was great - very central to all the places we wanted to explore and close enough to main towns when needed. Will definitely be recommending to others traveling with dogs.

Perfect mini break
Finally found accommodation where the term fully fenced is actually realised! Perfect for our dog to share the adventure. The Yurt had everything we needed and spotting an echidna and swimming in the river were highlights!

Hidden Gem @ Bemboka River Cottages
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Yurt. Karen and Jeff (and their dogs🐾🐾) were very welcoming. The place was clean and tidy and the homemade bread and breakfast supplies were a nice added touch. Our 4 legged children enjoyed their stay too! Highly recommend a stay at Bemboka River Cottages.

Perfect getaway with glorious scenery
If you are looking for peace and quiet and getting in touch with nature and serenity then this is the place for you. The scenery out your back door is breath taking to say the least. On arrival awaiting us was a freshly baked loaf of bread by the owners which was a lovely touch. The cottage was clean and very comfy and could not have asked for anything more (except for wifi). We will be recommending The Kurt to our family and friends and will be visiting again but this time for a longer stay!
