Everything. This place is an absolute gem! People need to go visit 100%. We had an awesome chat with JH, Michelle and Dave. Felt like we've known each other for years. Don't even get me started on the food.

“Comfortable unit, but can be upgraded slightly for the money spend/paid.”
Unit, View & furniture. All the pets on the lodge(Rosie, the little dachshund was gorgeous) loved the location. Nice and peaceful.

“Quiet Getaway”
The setting is peaceful, the atmosphere is calm, and the staff were genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The lodge was clean and well-kept, which made it easy to switch off and unwind and the food was delicious. It’s a great place to recharge, I walked away feeling rested and grateful for the break. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a simple, comfortable, and peaceful escape.
