WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT SOUTHERN YURTS?
We strive to provide a high quality experience for our guests. Each of our unique accommodations offers a memorable and stylish getaway where guests can connect with the beautiful natural surrounds without compromising on comfort. All accommodations have private facilities, including private wood-fired hot tubs. Linen, towels and basic supplies are also included in your stay. One can expect to create stories to share and memories that will linger!
At Southern Yurts, we operate with a strong ecological conscience. All of our firewood is harvested from alien eradication efforts in the Botrivier. Accommodations are built from up-cycled materials; new wood is sourced from alien trees around the Western Cape; Cabins have been re-designed form existing buildings, and our Yurt canvas covers are stitched by South African companies that, like us, care about supporting local industry. All accommodation units are equipped with biodegradable soaps, shampoos and conditioners. Water is sourced from springs on the farm, and reused from showers and hot tubs on the gardens (which returns to the river systems via natural filtration).
DIEPKLOWE CONSERVATION TRUST
A non-profit fund that is devoted to ensuring the management and maintenance of the Diepklowe Nature Reserve
The Diepklowe Conservation Trust, started in 2022, is a non-profit fund that is devoted to ensuring the management and maintenance of the Diepklowe Nature Reserve - in which Southern Yurts is located. A conservation fee of R75 per person per stay is added to each booking, and goes directly to this fund. Maintenance programs in the reserve are primarily centered around alien clearing in the riverine areas, erosion management, hiking trail access and rewilding of the unique Renosterveld Biome. Programs are generally executed in autumn and winter months when conditions are more safe and conducive to bush work. For more information on the conservation and how you can make a donation or get involved, please email us at info@southernyurts.co.za.

An order allows you to choose between one of our standard yurts, or a custom design. Customised yurts grant you the choice of size, layout and cover for your own Southern Yurt experience. Additions such as fireplaces, flooring, and outdoor kitchen unit and bathroom designs can also be discussed.
