Don River Yurt Co.

Get Down and Yurty.


Our Yurts


Our yurts are unique.  Your event will be unique too.  We understand this and encourage our customers to let their imagination run wild.  If you’ve got an idea, we’ll do our best to make it happen so please feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

We also offer discounted rates for fundraisers and charity events. If this is you, please let us know when you contact us for a quote.

A few points to get you started:

  • We now have 3 sizes of yurt available: two x 9m diameter, one x 7m diameter and one x 5m diameter. Please make sure that your intended site has sufficient room, a 9m diameter circle may be bigger than you think!

  • The colour of our yurts can vary depending on the size of the yurt - currently our 5m yurt is a grey canvas, our 7m yurt is a sandy green coloured canvas and our two 9m yurts are sandy green/white (green roof. white walls) and grey/white (white walls grey roof). If you would like to select a specific colour make sure to let us know in the form below - and to get a better idea of colours check our our gallery page.

  • The 9m and 7m yurts have two doors, located opposite each other. If the yurt circle was a clock face, the doors would be at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively. These doors must be located opposite each other and cannot be moved once the yurt is up. The 5m yurt has only one door.

  • Yurts are groovy and curvy. Flat ground is nice but a few slopes and curves won't bother the yurt, they flex to take up those bumps and tree roots! ...Within reason, of course...

  • The canvas wall sections can be added or removed depending on the weather. Leave a wall off to make the most of a view and hang it up if the wind picks up. Too hot? Hitch up the yurt's skirts or take 'em off all together. Our yurts don't mind showing a bit of leg...

  • Yurts love being dressed up. If you've got some flare for interior design, the yurts are a great blank canvas. With the frame and poles easy to access you can hang fabric and lighting features to your heart's content.

BASE PRICES

When pricing an event, we use these base prices as a starting point.  We try to be as specific as possible with our pricing and treat each hiring as unique. 

- 5m = $550 - The perfect size to use as a ‘yurt bar’ or maybe even a deluxe glamping setup?
- 7m = $880 - Especially great for small backyards, where room is limited!
- 9m = $990 - The grandest of all our yurts, fitting up to 100+ people.

 This includes yurt hiring for up to 3 days. The cost of a longer hiring is calculated on a case by case basis. We also offer "bundle" prices if you hire more than one yurt. Details below.

YURT SET UP AND PACK DOWN

Due to the unique design of yurts they must be set up and packed down by our own team at a time that best suits you. If the occasion requires an earlier setup to allow for decorating, etc., this can be arranged. Set up takes approximately 1.5 - 2.5+ hrs (depending on yurt size and the number of decorations etc).
