We stayed in the deluxe cottage and enjoyed the separate bedrooms, the kitchen, the place to do laundry, the deck—everything was perfect for our party of six. I would highly recommend this lovely place.

Super fijne cottage, vrijstaand, erg ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien, op loopafstand van het centrum en begin van wandelroutes gelegen. De service van de host was uitstekend. Hij regelde gelijk een Doubtfull Sound trip: super ervaring🙏👏
