Swan Lakeview
Swan Lakeview: Ceci & Celeste
(formerly Lakeside Yurt Retreat)
A Waterside Sanctuary for Groups of Ten
Experience the magic of the water’s edge at our Swan Lakeview Yurt. Comprising two beautifully paired yurts—Ceci the Cygnet and Celeste the Swan—this co-located escape is situated just metres apart. It is the perfect setting for large families or groups of friends to gather, offering a contemporary, light-filled interior that feels both airy and incredibly snug.
Whether the mist is rolling off the lake or the stars are reflecting in the water, our large wood-burning stoves (stocked with coal and logs) and electric radiators ensure your retreat stays warm and toasty all night long.

A New Name on the Water: Why We Became Celeste & Ceci
If you’ve stayed with us before, you might remember this yurt by a different name. But as we watched the seasons turn and the life on our lake flourish, we realised the yurt already had a name—it just hadn’t been written down yet. Swan Lakeview is the collective name for the two co-located yurts, the larger being Celeste the swan and the smaller being Ceci the Cygnet.
We are delighted to introduce the Celeste & Ceci yurts, named after our most elegant permanent residents.
Why the Change?
We chose to rename this space to celebrate the connection and peace that the lake provides.
The Spirit of Family: Just as the swans glide around the lakes, this yurt is a place for families to bond, and for everyone to slow down to “swan speed.”
A Room with a View: From your deck, you are in the front row for Celeste’s morning patrol. By naming the yurt after them, we’re inviting you to feel like part of their world for a few days.
Lakeside Harmony: The names Celeste (meaning “heavenly”) and Ceci (meaning “blind to the world’s noise”) perfectly capture the feeling of being tucked away in our little slice of paradise.
Nesting at the Retreat
When you stay in Celeste & Ceci, we hope you find the same tranquility they do. Keep an eye out for a flash of white feathers on the water—it’s just the neighbours dropping by to say hello.
