    A cosy chalet with beautiful views, a lovely setting and a great base for exploring the area.

    We really enjoyed our stay here and immediately felt at home in this beautiful, cosy chalet. The bedroom with four beds was very practical for the children, while we slept in the living room. The chalet had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, beautiful views and was ideally located for exploring the surrounding area. We had a wonderful time here.

    The only minor downside for us was that the kitchen and dining area were rather small, while the bathroom was quite spacious. We would personally have preferred a slightly smaller bathroom and a little more space in the kitchen and dining area. Of course, this is just a matter of personal preference and did not prevent us from enjoying our stay.

    It’s all about the location in the bush here and fabulous birdsong. A bit pricey for the room itself.

    Amazing situation in the beautiful bush with fabulous birdsong

    It felt a little jaded, and the bed sofa (which I understand is not going to be available in future) felt like the poor cousin… squeezed in a small space, no bedside lamp I found it a pricey accommodation for what you got.

    Peaceful and relaxing

    The place was amazing. So quiet and relaxing, we sat out on the deck every night to eat our dinner. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for the stay. Plenty of place for our kid to run around.

    Overall a superb experience! The hosts were friendly and helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer

    Location was superb! Only a few minutes drive to the shops. Loved hearing the chirping of birds, very relaxing and peaceful.

    Only downside was that there were no bedside tables in one room but no biggie!
