About this property

Glamping Retreat - Rural Alexandra

This unique lifestyle property, aptly named "Owls Rest", is a place to unwind and relax. Switch off from the hustle and bustle of your busy life. With a Yurt as your accommodation what more could you need? The adjacent cottage has a fully operational bathroom with a HWC, so hot showers instead of the glamping solar bags!! The indoor/outdoor cooking facilities are almost as good as your own kitchen, everything (except an oven) and the kitchen sink! You have the whole place to yourself so stroll around this 20 acre rural retreat and sit at the top of the hill on our special seat to watch the sun rise or sun set. Admire the 360 views of the Manuherikia valley, Manorburn dam, right across to the "Remarkables". See if you can spot our resident Owl in his nesting tree. Enjoy the cosy feel of this amazing Mongolian Yurt that is quaint and relaxing. With the Cental Otago rail trail 5 minutes away, the iconic Chatto creek pub 7 minutes down the road and Clyde a stones' throw away, there are options to spread your wings but return to your cosy retreat at the end of the day.

Our stay in the yurt was amazing. 6 nights of tranquil bliss. So peaceful and cozy. Lovely private location. After busy days it was a pleasure just coming up the drive. We would recommend without hesitation.

Perfect place to unwind.
We were blown away. Completely outdid any expectations we had, we were gutted to leave and wished we had of booked a longer trip. We had a great time playing board games together and the bed was extremely comfortable and that’s coming from an ex bed salesman who is very hard to please. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Garry and I (Kate) purchased this property as we fell in love with the peacefulness we felt there. We both love the outdoors and wanted to share this with others. Garry is a worker so to make sure he combined work with play this property ticked all the you will see!
I just like to pitch in so we get enjoyment from watching this property evolve as we come up with new ideas for it. I have 2 horses I take over there frequently to enjoy the riding closeby and our Golden Labrador "Jess" just loves trying to catch all those rabbits!

Why they chose this property

Need a peaceful, no fuss get away from it all weekend, that is what we love, leaving all our worries behind.

What makes this property unique

What more could you ask for, a Mongolian Yurt nestled in Central Otago!! For that special couples weekend retreat. Enjoy the beautiful rural views this acre property has to offer from atop of the hill, down the Manuherikia valley and river towards Chatto Creek to the ruggard landscape where you see the lower Manorburn dam and across to Old Mans range.
Then only a 6 minute drive to Alexandra for those glamping supplies or just a wander around the shops. Whether you want to bike part of the Iconic Rail trail, visit many of the beautiful surrounds of Central Otago or just kick back and relax this property is the base you will love to do this from. Cycling, wineries, restuarants, watersports, walking and many other fun activities just a stones throw away.

Not to mention an hours drive to get the big city lights fix in Queenstown and those adventure tourism activities.


For horse lovers if you are wanting to see this area or passing through and need a pit stop for a couple of nights then we are happy to accomodate you and your beloved steeds. Please discuss this with us first as there could be small additional costs that apply.
