Nice location. Just outside of the main town area. If you're a light sleeper though, the sounds of the trucks may wake you up. But that wasn't an issue for us. Spa pool available for guests for short time (6pm-9pm).

Perfect for one night stop

Perfect for the passing through traveler needing the one night stay. I can't say much about Dannevirke as we were there on a holiday and everything was closed.

Oerhört bra ställe, så trevligt ägare, uppgraderade utan extra kostnad och var så hjälpsamma. Rent och fint, sköna sängar. Fanns kylskåp och Micro samt vattenkokare. Bra övernattning inför resan till Wellington.
