When we arrived, the room was already warm and cozy. Such a good reapite from the long rainy drive. The reception staff was polite and welcoming. The place is quite old and the curtains remind me of the ones my grandma had in the 80s. However,the cabin is well kept and clean. A good nostalgic experience. Perfect for relaxing and lazing about.

Priorities and guests are not one of them
Restaurant fully booked. Had to drive to get food. Not even take out was possible. The restaurant employees said they needed to focus on the reservations. The issue is not that restaurant was fully booked good for them. But not even take out to eat in the room. That was bad.

Enjoyable short stay in a chalet. Clean and comfortable, quiet surroundings. Handy to town. We were disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open during our stay. Evening reception would be improved by having the fire crackling on arrival - the reception/bar area seemed very old and tired but that was probably mostly because it was poorly lit and no fire on. Overall very happy with our stay.

Stayed in one of the 3BR villas -- very modern and tidy with lovely space inside and out (when the weather suits). Very impressive book selection to for an evening or rainy day read. Short walk to a trout fishing pool!

We really enjoyed our stay here in a 3 bedroom villa. We were 5 adults and 1 child and had so much extra space. The living and dining area was comfortable and spacious, the heating options were great and the beds were comfortable in nice big bedrooms. Our villa’s main living area was upstairs with a big deck out the front. There was a child gate across the stairs which was handy. We were just stopping through on our way down the country, so didn’t do a lot in the area, but do note that it’s a little drive into the ‘township’ so don’t expect to walk.
