The entire cottage is thoughtfully decorated in a Japanese style, predominantly using wood materials, to create an authentic and calming atmosphere.

Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub or relaxing indoors in front of the wood-burning stove, you’ll find the perfect balance of modern comfort and serene oriental charm.
