Werkelijk alles klopt hier! De locatie, het uitzicht, de service van de gastheer en gastvrouw! Kleinschalig en persoonlijk, een dikke 10!

Perfekte Unterkunft für einen Traumurlaub

10.0

Die Unterkunft ist einfach ein Traum und noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Was es jedoch unvergessen macht ist die Aussicht. Wir konnten uns einfach nicht satt sehen. Selbst bei Regenwetter. Die beiden Gastgeber Sonja und Filip sind ebenfalls grandios und haben stets ein freundliches Wort und vor allem hilfreiche Tipps parat. Hervorzuheben ist ausserdem die wundervolle Gartenanlage mit Pool (beheizt) und Whirlpool. Jeder Winkel ist mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Es hat uns große Freude bereitet jeden Winkel zu erkunden oder einfach nur dazu zu sitzen und die Vögel zu beobachten. Wir können es nur jedem ans Herz legen hier mehrere Tage zu bleiben (bei uns waren es 4 Nächte), ansonsten wird man es vor Ort bereuen nicht länger bleiben zu können.

Perfect stay in a perfect place with perfect hosts!

10.0

Sonja and Filip are great hosts, very passionate and they gave us the best tipps. The Lodge is perfectly furnished and decorated with love and every detail is amazing, from the little chocolates and cookies to a port wine tasting! Floor heating in the bathroom, fluffy bathrobes, what could you need more?! The location is great too, lots of things to see and do within short distances. The beach is just down the road. Thank you for this lovely stay! Next time, we'll stay longer.

Absolutely nothing.

Well....everything was perfect....you can see how much work and dedication they put into creating this beautiful place. Every detail is thought out and gives you the feeling that this place is as unique as its owners. A fantastic couple from Belgium who chose a place near the Tasmanian National Park as their home .) thank you for creating this amazing place
