Yurt in the Dirt?
Hey, I’m Ryan. I started Yurt in the Dirt to make alternative accommodation simple and affordable for people willing to roll up their sleeves and give it a go.
Not everyone wants to drop a fortune on a build or wait months for tradies. With the growing land and housing squeeze, more people are thinking outside the box and finding creative ways to build the spaces they need.
A few years ago, we were in the same boat. My family and I spent four years living off-grid in an 8m yurt on a friend’s farm. It wasn’t just somewhere to stay. It was our home.
Since then, we’ve refined our yurts and domes for Australian and New Zealand conditions, helping people create off-grid retreats, glamping accommodation, backyard studios and even entire accommodation businesses.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to do things differently, you’re in good company. Join our growing community of 150+ clients who’ve built something incredible with our yurts and domes.

Founder (Yurt in the Dirt)note: we sell our Yurts and Domes as glamping tents. Our kits don’t currently comply with Australian building standards for dwellings.

For us a yurt from Yurt in the Dirt was the best fit because we could put it up ourselves. We could do it in a couple of days with a bit of help. And it's round, like how cool.

It was a straight forward build and was surprised how quickly it went up with a few helpers! (one weekend) I decided on the additional layer of insulation as we are in outer NE suburbs of Melbourne. It's been really warm inside even without any heating having been installed yet! The cross flow through the two smaller windows brings a beautiful breeze.... Read more

Glover family
Tamworth NSW
We were looking for something a little different to create an Airbnb and another income stream on our property. The 7m ORON Yurt gave us the flexibility to build the project in stages without taking on another major renovation. Everyone got involved, and it was fantastic for our boys to see something like this come together from the ground up. The yurt sits in a beautiful, secluded part of our property and is going to become a peaceful off-grid eco retreat with an outdoor bath and fire pit. We’re really excited to share this place with others.... Read more

We’ve just finished our 8m ORON Yurt as a Yoga Studio in Perth Hills. Ryan and his team came up to build our deck and yurt for us and they did it start to finish in 5 days. What an incredible space, so much light and warmth. I can’t wait to hold our first Yoga classes and womens circles in this beautiful space! If you’ve been considering it for a while just go for it!... Read more

We’ve been working with Ryan and his team over the last 2 years on our eco-retreat project in Western Australia. From the get go they have been incredibly responsive, professional and focussed on our success. We have built 5 yurts so far and have 9 planned in total. We have just built the first of the latest ORON model and I must say the quality is exceptional and a huge step up from the earlier model which we already loved. Their yurts are built from years of personal experience and the results are testament to that. If you’re looking for Australia and New Zealands #1 Yurt company you’ve found them!... Read more

We've been living in our 8m yurt for two years now and it feels homely, there's a warmth about it. During COVID we ended up part of the housing crisis, living in tents and a caravan, until we found Yurt in the Dirt online. I've just not known customer service like it. With the roof like that it feels so spacious, and there's a simplicity to living like this that's really enjoyable. I definitely recommend living in a yurt. Don't overthink it!... Read more

I chose a 5.2m Yurt because it’s a more affordable option for my lifestyle and I wanted to be closer to nature. It took about 2 days to build with the help of 6 friends. The instructional video was easy to follow and Ryan was a big help. I love the simplicity, independence and quiet that the Yurt gives me. I’m fully off grid in Tasmania. I opted for the double insulation option and also a beautiful large window. I would definitely recommend Yurt in the Dirt!... Read more

Our experience in working with Ryan from Yurt in the Dirt was exceptional. From the moment of our first enquiry, to our first quote, to keeping us updated all throughout the production and delivery process and all the way to the support he was on hand to offer when we were building our Yurt, his service and attention to detail and his genuine care and assistance was second to none. Ryan was also sensitive to our situation, in launching our latest venture for which we are truly grateful. We want to thank Ryan and the team at Yurt in the Dirt. If you are after a truly high quality product, with exceptional support and assistance you cannot go past Ryan and YITD. Thanks from everyone here – At Home In The World Family Weekends... Read more

I’ve had a great experience so far with the company- my yurt arrives tomorrow and I’m so excited!! I had a few extra logistics with shipping as I’m in Tasmania and everything was done to make it smooth as possible for me. Very friendly, knowledgeable and prompt customer service, thanks Yurt in the Dirt!... Read more

Yurt in the dirt is really awesome to work with! Ryan helped us all the way through our building our new home! Starting out from our rough ideas he helped us every step of the way… we now have an awesome 8 metre yurt to live in:) Thanks again Ryan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paul and Astara... Read more

I’m stoked to have our new office up and running. Ryan was very responsive from beginning to end and the yurt was relatively easy to build. The 5.2m Yurt makes a great home office and sits just below the 20sqm rule for local council.

I contacted Ryan after copious research and having already built a yurt some time ago… I was SO IMPRESSED with his service and approach. He had high quality deck plans, was happy to answer all my in depth questions and eager to assist in planning. Highly recommended and look forward to working with him again... Read more

I absolutely love my Yurt in the Dirt. Ryan was super helpful in the process of getting it here and the instruction videos worked really well. The whole family really enjoys using it! The 4.5m was perfect for our rural weekender.

We are so thrilled with our yurt. We bought the 8m one and cannot believe how spacious it is. Dealing with Ryan has been such a pleasure, great to see that old fashioned service is still alive. We were kept in the loop throughout and although we collected it ourselves he has been there the entire process. As for the yurt itself what a great product and so well priced. We had friends and family over two days to build the entire yurt, followed the video and it was easy, heavy but easy. Love the new colours available we were too early for them. We have thoroughly enjoyed the journey and highly recommend Yurt in the Dirt.... Read more
