Super clean and fresh smell in the entire room. Spa bath works well and very relaxing needed for this cold winter. Barely heard any noises from neighbors or outside. Very quiet and comfortable.

Beautifully built wooden chalet , one of two, side by side on the owners property. Loads of room and very clean and comfortable, with all the expected facilities other than an oven and hob. We enjoyed feeding the alpaca and sheep which are in an adjoining field and also the large sharing bath. Parking is right next to the property and there is a ramp for anyone with a wheelchair.

The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.

    This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!
