August 2011
Phoenix and Maya (aka Dave and Emma) escaped the tiresome city of Londonia. Traveling for days they became thirsty and hungry. Days turned into nights turned into weeks. Then suddenly...from afar they saw a cat. " Welcome my friends" said Kitty the cat, "follow me". Phoenix was dubious of listening to a talking cat... something told them however to follow Kitty. After a few more days of walking they finally arrived...Kitty guided them down a series of rock stairs. And then...they saw...with their eyes, hearts, body and soul...A man by the name of Kyle and a woman by the name of Niya. These were no ordinary people...they had inhabited a magical land. They had with a vision made the impossible, possible. The land with wonder, life and awe shone brightly. Phoenix and Maya were taken aback - they couldn't believe what they saw. Maya, Phoenix, Kyle, Niya and Kitty, the land and all the animals danced with joy. As Maya and Phoenix rested, weary from their travels of long, Kyle & Niya prepared, cooked and served food that nurtured and fed both body & soul. All around they could feel the smiles, see the love and hear the joy. As each day passed Maya & Phoenix grew stronger and shined brighter. The time had come to continue on their journey. An overwhelming wave of gratitude filled the air and too a sense of sadness that they must now leave. They knew that they would never forget how Kyle, Niya, Kitty and the land had touched their hearts. And so they left.... and as the land grew distant in the breeze of the trees whispered softly - " Blessed Be, Blessed Be, May all Your Wishes Come true for thee"

Dear Kyle ~ Thank you for helping to bring simple natural living back to our lives ~ I'm sure winter can be a challenge but during the summer this place is a true Eden. The peace ~ access to the "living" bath and the peace that allows nature to become to the fore is just what is needed to reground away from the madding crowd. Thanks also for the lovely food too! Obrigado Kyle Pela oportunidade de conhecor Portugal, semtir a beleza dei te elpaco ro deado de historia, tranquilidade e beleza. Ana & Chris

We are a large and strange family, often chaotic, but here we find a special place, where is really possible to live "in nature". This magical place give us the chance to experience unknown sensations and moods. For all these we can only thank Kyle and his purpose to make of this place a little "fairy corner" of the world. Thanks for the fantastic cookings and for your kindness. Love, also by the dogs!!! Cesare & Simona

'Thank you Kyle & Niya for your generous hospitality and allowing us to enjoy such a magical place. We've loved every bit of it and although it has been all too short, we'll be back again! It's going to be hard going back to London but the memories of the lake & the sky full of stars will make it easier. We couldn't have wished for a beterr belated honeymoon. We arrived stressed, but left refreshed, energised and at peace!
Thanks to you both.Hugs'. Loretta & Paul xx

'Thank you for letting us stay here. It's a beautiful unique place, feels like in the middle of nowhere. We loved the yurt, the view in the morning and the calmness. That's your house -amazing. We feel so relaxed. It's hard to leave, still not sure if we might stay longer :) We will reccommend your place to our friends and maybe come back with them together. All the best.' Signil & Jonty

"Thank you Kyle for helping to create the most memorable 30th birthday surprise ever! I can't believe how well everything has been + how perfect your home is! This has been one massive inspiration in so many ways. we have so many memories to take home (cooking fresh fish on the BBQ - caught that day + plenty of Superbock + the lovely chocolate cake you made for birthday boy are just a few to mention) I'm sure we can now return to the UK refreshed + less white than before!! Your hospitality has been amazing + you have really welcomed us here! I need to finally mention how amazing the food has been. I still can't believe you have almost converted my strictly meat eating boyfriend into a solely vegetarian eater!! This has also been a perfect retreat as allowed me to join in with a little fishing whilst sunbathing in the trusty dingy!! Loved it all Kyle + we will return!! Thanks so much for everything!!" Kate xxxxxxxxxxx
"Kyle, I must say what an absolutely amazing retreat holiday and as a complete surprise to me (30th birthday). Without you and Kate organizing emails etc, this dream would never have come true! In 30 years I must say I have never had such a memorable time. The peace, tranquility, fishing AND YOUR FANTASTIC FOOD!! I have never felt so nourished & satisfied from so much fresh & home grown food. You have given me & Kate so much inspiration about what to do and have done with this amazing place, unfortunately all good things must come to an end. The fishing is amazing although a little slow to start but that was down to the lad on the rod not the fish!. I am a great believer in 'All good things come to those who wait', and they did. The BBQ was amazing, thanks so much. I am leaving here relaxed, inspired and knowing a truly great bloke & true friend and that's you Kyle. See you in YORKSHIRE" Thanks Mick

"KYLE YOU LEGEND!!. We came here tired & a bit stressed out, seeking a much needed retreat for some rest & peace. We leave refreshed & revived spirit, soul & body. This place is so beautiful, it truly is a slice of paradise. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we are beyond grateful. What you have done here to make this place what it is, is inspiring! Oh, and you outshine Jamie Olivier with your culinary skills, bet he can't make a carrot cake like that with a camper van oven in the wild!! Stay Blessed!" Caleb & Cate :)
"When all the world is sleeping, and all around you's still, breathe in the calming silence, feel yourself relax until, a sense of peace engulfs you. A feeling that right now, not a soul can harm you, you start to wonder how, at times of utter quiet, when no one is around, a person who felt sad and lost; Can suddenly feel found." - "Lost now found" - by Cate x

"Thanks for an amazing four days, we have loved our time here and are very sad to be leaving. The location is perfect, stunning views and plenty to see and do. It is clear to see how much time and effort has gone into ensuring the best environmentally sound use of your land, we feel privileged to have been able to share it with you. There really is nothing better than going to bed to the sound of the waterfall under a canopy of stars and waking up to see a veil of mist lifting off the lake. Happy memories" Lucy + Sarah
"P. S. Our day trips in 'Seahawk', the boat, will be missed!"

"Truly the most wonderful space! Thank you so much for letting us stay in this perfect hideaway! Waking up and seeing the view will be something that I will really miss for a long time and all the amazingly healthy food. Thank you, oh and it was the perfect space to dance around with my hula hoop!" Love, Clare xxx
"Clare and I fell in love with this place - a perfect haven from city life!

"Thank you both so much for looking after me in this lovely space. Took a few days to get my legs and body used to climbing up and down stony paths, but its better than the gym for keeping fit! Loved swimming in the lake and rowing in the boat. It has been an amazing experience being here and your lovely, stunningly beautiful land is so peaceful just to sit in the silence. The little shower is great with the eucalyptus scented water! And I got used to the compost toilet quicker than I thought I would! It is a fantastic place and so much potential for you. Thank you for all the lovely meals prepared with love! Thanks for having me!" Louise xxxxx

"Wild, kind, and beautiful time here, being looked after by the glorious surroundings and the love and care of our host (and friend) Niya. Much clambering over rocks and basking in the sun, water, moon and under stars and clear skies, so much to do! No need for ipods, phones and laptops (or clothes!) Thank you Kyle and Niya for sharing this simple and stunning space, much to heal but being here has set the process in motion. Love, love, love, love and claps." Annie Lok x x x x x x
"Thank you for sharing this place with us. It has been an adventure in so many ways for the body (finding my path - legs, wow! and for my stomach, never has it been so nourished!) and for the mind and spirit, finding the quiet and space to reflect but also assimilate and strengthen. I'm learning feeling calmer, wiser, stronger and happier - what more could you ask for. Thank you for the care and friendship too, which were worth more than possible to express. Vive la Yurt! With thanks and love" Ruth
