If that summary wasn’t enough, here’s some more information about the costs that are factored into constructing a yurt as well as how we’d be able to get your yurt up and running in the quickest way possible.
To put it simply, trusting the build quality is what’s going to be most important. Yes, we manufacture our Yurts in China, but we control the quality from start to finish, and we’re an Aussie company that will offer you good old fashioned customer service and a proper warranty. Some Yurts may look tempting on marketplaces like ebay, but the build quality can be absolutely horrendous – and then forget about the customer service and anyone to actually help you if things go wrong.
My name’s Ryan Smith, I’m the owner of Yurt In The Dirt Australia – and as someone who actually lives in a yurt and is writing this blog post from one of our yurts, I know exactly what you’ll need to ensure you’re taking full advantage of these spaces safely and without any risk. All of that while still saving money in your pocket!

When choosing a yurt, the quality of materials used significantly affects its durability, comfort, and overall performance, especially under Aussie weather conditions. Here’s how yurts made from cheaper materials stack up against those crafted in Yurt In The Dirt’s production process.
- Durability: Yurts constructed with low-cost materials often utilize thinner, less durable fabrics and lightweight framing that may not withstand harsh weather conditions, especially wind and heat (which is..as you guessed it, pretty much the Australian climate). In contrast, our products use durable, waterproof, and UV-resistant double coated PVC for the yurt cover and robust frames made of bamboo lattice and aluminum which means in any sort of condition, our yurts stand up to the test.
- Comfort and Insulation: Cheap materials can really compromise the yurt’s ability to regulate temperature and prevent moisture build-up. Our yurts include felt insulation and a whirly bird style ventilation system, as well as 2 waterproof layers, maintaining a comfortable interior climate in both cold and hot weather, while cheaper alternatives may lack adequate insulation and ventilation features.
- Aesthetics and Functionality: While cheaper yurts may use less appealing or lower-quality interior materials that fade or wear quickly, Yurt in the Dirt uses a light-coloured patterned fabric for the interior liner, creating a beautiful ambiance. Additionally, features like the clear polycarbonate dome skylight and optional glass windows enhance natural lighting and views, features often compromised in less expensive models. It’s because of this that our clients can enjoy the utmost comfort in their yurts.
- Maintenance and Longevity: Good-quality materials require less maintenance and are more likely to last longer. Our choice of materials ensures that your yurt remains in great condition with minimal upkeep compared to cheaper alternatives.
Yurt In The Dirt’s product range
When deciding on a yurt, cost is a major consideration and probably the reason why you’re on this article in the first place. Our yurts are affordably priced coming starting at $11,000. If you wanted something a little bit bigger, for example something that’s 30-50 sqm, then even our highest priced yurt at 50sqm is great value at $15,500. I’ve already given you the low down on the quality of our products, but also wanted to let you know that we keep our prices super competitive in the Aussie market.
4.5 Metre Yurt
The 4.5m yurt is the most budget-friendly option, ideal for those looking to create intimate settings without a hefty price tag. Its compact size reduces costs on materials and maintenance, making it perfect for personal yoga studios, home offices, or artistic retreats. It’s an economical choice for anyone seeking a private escape or a serene addition to their garden, offering just enough space for solitude and creativity.
5 Metre Yurt
This 5m yurt is just a step up in size, it’s well-suited for a home office with enough room to have a study area and a lounging area. Or for a cozy couples retreat or a small teenagers hangout. It’s also easy to assemble and takes up a smaller footprint than its bigger siblings.
6.3 Metre Yurt
This slightly larger yurt is well-suited for those needing a bit more room without drastically increasing costs. It offers a comfortable balance between affordability and functionality, accommodating a small kitchenette and living area. This size is ideal for alternative accommodation, such as an air B&B or a larger personal studio, providing enough space for small group activities while still being cost-effective.
8 Metre Yurt
The largest in the range, the 8m yurt is a good investment due to its size and the increased quantity of materials. It provides an expansive space with a 4m dome height that is perfect for a much larger guest accommodation (it can actually fit a small family dwelling). This size is also tall enough that you can build a mezzanine inside and have an upstairs bed. The cost is offset by the yurt’s potential to attract a higher nightly rate if using as a B&B or a glamping setup.
