Home away home with an amazing view
The Yurt is a hidden gem in O'Connell. The view from the veranda overlooks the beautiful landscape of country NSW. The kitchen is fully functional for light cooking. In cold winter days, the reverse cycle air cond and the electric blankets keep us warm and comfortable at night. It would be perfect if the WIFI signal could be stronger. I'd love to come back for longer stay in the future.

Lovely place for short break
We had a lovely stay here - very clean, beds were super comfy (best two nights sleep we’ve had in ages), kids had fun roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and watching the sunset from the bath! Beautiful views and handy to Bathurst (15 mins) for provisions, or the O Connell Hotel for dinner (5 mins). Thanks, we had a great weekend!

Peacful stay
We loved the quiet and peace during our three night stay. The property is beautiful, rolling meadows all around us with grazing sheep and cows. Nev and Louise are wonderful hosts and we were treated to fresh eggs. I had a beautiful time decompressing and it proved to be the holiday we really needed. The bonus, a kangaroo, joey in pouch, coming to visit us one of the mornings. My kids loved every moment of it.

Just as advertised, absolutely beautiful expansive views. Our small family had an amazing time at the Yurt. Very neat and clean with all essentials provided. The kids loved the bathtub which overlooked the beautiful fields. Being on top of a hill, we could see far and wide into the distance and enjoyed amazing views of both sunrises and sunsets. Louise was so helpful and promptly replied to all my enquiries. Definitely will be coming back!

A Delight!
We had the loveliest stay in the yurt in O'Connell. The Yurt was spacious and was thoughtfully styled, and just magical. The views from the deck were gorgeous, and I couldn't have asked for a better location to go see Mayfield Gardens, and other sights around Oberon.

Perfect spot for a short rural break
Great location for a Mayfield Gardens visit and Bathurst region explore. Super comfy beds and rooms - all you need for a long weekend break. Beautiful 180 degree vistas from the living spaces. Sitting on the deck was magical! Thank you for checking in on us Louise - look forward to staying in future. Visit amazing Aaron the barista at Fish River Roasters in Bathurst - open mornings only.

Beautiful countryside views
We felt at home from the moment we walked in to the beautiful yurt. Comfortable beds, nice clean bathroom and a kitchenette with everything you need. The views from the yurt are peaceful and beautiful - hilly pastures with sheep, cows and many colourful birds. It was a wonderful few days and we’d love to come back one day.
