Roomy and very well appointed loft. The window the faced the lake was very nice. Comfy bed. The washer was also very handy.
− The breakfast was in the room, not a lot of space for enjoying it.

The breakfast supplied was way more than we expected. The loft has beautiful views, the towels are luxurious, and the bed is huge and comfortable. We are so glad we decided to stay two nights.
− There is nothing to dislike.

Wir sind einen Tag bevor ein Zyklon erwartet wurde angereist und Lesley war so nett uns sogar ein größerer Zimmer zu geben (da wir am nächsten Tag erwartungsgemäß nicht raus konnten). Wir hatten ein schönes großes Bett und das Zimmer war gut und bequem eingerichtet.
