“Not a Lovers Nest”
A beautiful setting right on the river — clean, neat, and wonderfully kept. The animals make it extra special: friendly dogs greeting you in the morning, peacocks wandering around, and the cutest little meerkat.

“Exceptional, we cannot wait to return. The pictures really does not do this place justice.”
The sound of the river flowing brings about a peaceful feel throughout the stay. You can also take a hike along the river and you get a really good view of the pass towards the middle of the hike. The hammock is placed in the perfect location to relax and watch the stars at night. We enjoyed the hot tub as well.

“Great Location”
Location because it was quiet, close to the Caves, and was on a stream so we could swim in rock pools. The view from our chalet was perfect. We loved the collection of friendly dogs, cats, birds, the pet meerkat and the not so friendly geese :). We also enjoyed using the outside facilties for the barbeque and dining outside with views of the stream and mountain side.

“The respect of our privacy, and the quietness of the peaceful place.”
This was our second visit and Inge have made us feel like family. We even met the little baby, I call her SMILY because that's all she was doing.

We had some power issues with no power at the unit. The staff however went out of their way to help in the absence of the owners who had a family emergency. My only gripe is that general maintenance can improve.
