The space
Take time out from your busy schedule to enjoy this memorable getaway, just 1 hour from Melbourne.

Nestled discreetly within a beach-side residential suburb, Yurt Hideaway offers an enchanting space that is often described as a private oasis. The space is fully fenced and surrounded by a mature garden, giving it a secluded feel.

The spacious six-metre yurt, with its all-natural craftsmanship, is modern, open, and comfortably inviting—encouraging you to truly relax and unwind.

Step out to the fully covered alfresco dining area and relax surrounded by the lush garden. The outdoor area includes lighting to allow you to spend time outside after nightfall.

Your bathroom is just a few steps from the yurt along a paved path (not ensuite) . It is stocked with deluxe towels and blissful, local products, that invite you to take time to pamper yourself.

BALANCE OF LUXE & SIMPLICITY
The space offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury. To encourage a true escape from daily life, we’ve intentionally left out the TV. That said, reliable Wi-Fi is available, so you can still stream a movie or unwind with your favourite playlist.

LOCATION
Tucked away in the residential suburb of Tootgarook (right next to Rye), this private, fully fenced space is perfectly positioned in the heart of the southern Mornington Peninsula.

UNWIND, INDULGE & EXPLORE
From adventure to wineries and wellness, you’ll be close to everything the peninsula has to offer. Whether you’re soaking in the Hot Springs, settling in for brunch at a local café, or exploring the boutiques and seaside charm of historic Sorrento—there’s something for everyone.
For those keen on coastal adventures, the bay is just moments from your door. Enjoy dolphin swims, stand-up paddleboarding, scenic coastal walks, or simply relax by the water.

A WALK TO THE BEACH
It’s just 800 metres to the Tootgarook Foreshore, where the shallow, sparkling waters of Capel Sound await. Take a refreshing dip or enjoy a peaceful stroll along the beach.

You’ll love Yurt Hideaway as the perfect setting for a romantic couple’s getaway, or a rejuvenating personal retreat.

I spend too much time: in my office
I have always loved yurts, and it is still my dream to live in one full time! It is a very special experience to be in a 100% natural round structure. We to make each guest feel spoilt during their stay. We provide lots of extra touches to make staying at the yurt above and beyond a usual accommodation experience. My partner and I are yoga instructors and offer private yoga classes for guests, ask me if you’d like more info.
