"A great start to our honeymoom !! Staying in the Yurt was great fun. The local knowledge and friendliness of Nadine and Calvin meant we enjoyed getting to know the area during the day and finished off evenings around the camp fire. Thank you very much for a lovely few days lots of love". 
Tasha & Malcom St. Albans UK 2009

A really unique experience in a great location. We completely support the ethos you’re striving toward. A couple of rugs and some cushions in a `lounge` area in the big space of the Tipi would make it even more cosy, homely and relaxing. Somewhere to hang our wet swimmers and towels (inside or out) would also be a welcome addition. Don’t forget the eye masks either No more Tipi you’re on to a good thing we really loved being here and will hopefully return with friends in tow-soon!
Tania and Kate Brixton, London (Australia) 2009

Nadine and Calvin have created a beautiful oasis here and it has been a privilege to share this magical space with them. Highlights include picking fresh tomatoes, coriander, peppers and French beans for lunch for the boys, a DIY pizza night, sunny and chief or personal canine guardians and feeling completely at ease. We all wish you all the best for your magnificent dreams. Lots of Chi and Warmth.
