Hi there! Looking for some advice, hopefully from other kiwis but all is welcome.
We've been given the opportunity to live on 300 acres of land (about 50 minutes from Auckland) with other family . It is mostly covenanted forest, it's completely off grid and barely accessible by car. The purchase finally settled and for the past year my partner and I have been researching options on what we'd like to build but are repeatedly coming back to yurts for a livable structure until we have money and time (3 kids 3yrs and under) to build our forever home. As time ticks on we're desperate to get on the land and to start settling in.
Our main concern (well.. only concern) is the cost and to me yurts don't seem like the most financially economical option - just the quickest and most convenient given our situation (which I guess is reflected in the cost). We're looking at living in an 8 or 9 meter yurt, and I've only been able to find one NZ company who even provide yurts that large. Most of them only go to 7 meters.
if there's anyone who know of any NZ companies that go 8 meters and what your experience was with them?
Also, if you are in NZ and did use an overseas company, how you found the ordering process (e.g. choosing
,
etc.) as I'm a little bit unsure how I decide what type of
would be best for our climate.
And ALSO what are some super important things I should be keeping in mind when ordering? We know we'll be happy and fit comfortably in a yurt, we're just anxious on the finer details!
Thanks heaps!
