the hole in the rock yurt

We had friends visiting from Vancouver and we were all blown away by this unique setup and location. Great communication from owner. Yurt would be beautiful for a romantic getaway. It has one very large at least king size bed the other bed for us was a pull out couch which was very comfortable. Have a great kitchenette, all facilities, just need to bring milk for tea and coffee which is provided. Fridge ,bbq etc. Nice modern shower and toilet. This is outside the yurt, but well lit with sensor solar lights. So 4 adults have a very comfortable stay. The view and location are just fabulous you can walk down the the beach in around 5mins (there are a few stairs to do this) and when you get there its just stunning. We walked to the local pub for dinner and they did a pretty decent basic dinner. We really enjoyed this stay would highly recommend and will be back. Thanks

What an awesome place! The large Yurt is only a bedroom/sitting room, while the modern bath, kitchen and laundry are just a few barefoot steps away on the deck in a separate structure. The Yurt has a wide picture window from which you can see the sea. At night, in the quiet, you can hear the lulling waves from "down below"... "Down below", is the masterpiece of this location: a magnificent black-sand pristine beach. The "hole" is a natural archway and cave-like hollow that was accessible on foot at low tide, but picturesqely wild at high tide too. The water was 63°F in January, so definitely swimable, with significant waves to play in. Rock formations near the shore and in the distance make for a stunning view. Our host Ray was so helpful, and his wife so friendly. He runs Bazil's surf shop, so my daughter joined a morning surf class too! Thank you, we're only sad that we had 1 night at Hole in the Rock Yurt. It was one of our best stays in NZ!

A little table/chairs in the kitchen would be helpful for laundry or coffee in foul weather.

Location amazing. Very comfortable and clean. Everything worked.

Not a criticism but it was very hot and airless during the day in the yurt ... partly because of the wonderful weather.

Very unique property with amazing view. Surprisingly cosy warm and very comfortable with a smart TV.

Bathroom separate but only an issue because it was cold and raining- but kitchen and bathroom were perfect.
