Nowadays, people equate New Zealand with The Lord of the Rings. But New Zealand is much more than just a filming location for an epic trilogy. It’s a place full of fun activities, a riveting history, and natural wonders. The town of Greytown in this country is no exception. Known for its Victorian architecture and tree-lined avenues, it was given the title of New Zealand’s Most Beautiful Small Town in 2017.

You could immerse yourself in its history by visiting the Cobblestones Museum, and then shop and dine at top-notch restaurants nearby. Stay fit by cycling up and down the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) Greytown Woodside Trail, or plan a visit to the Kahikatea Gardens full of plants and animals. If you’re planning a trip to this scenic location and are looking for a unique place to bunk, scroll down to read our list of the best yurts in Greytown, New Zealand.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.

1. Gorgeous yurt with domed skylight and private garden (from USD 153)

Glamp in style at this cozy yurt just 500 meters (1,640 feet) from the heart of Greytown. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a comfortable king-size bed and a bathroom to the left stocked with natural, plant-based toiletries.

Take the lavender bath salts and black raspberry and vanilla bath foam out to the deck, where you’ll find a hot tub that’s perfect for soaking into after a day of exploring. Then, get into bed and gaze at the stars overhead through the skylight dome.

If you need another reason to choose this yurt, their complimentary homemade breakfast might just be it. The hosts will gladly provide you with Paleo muesli, Greek yogurt, and milk. You will also have a selection of tea or freshly ground coffee to make your morning cuppa.
