Het was een fantastisch verblijf, leuke wandeling gedaan, heerlijk huisje/kamer. Alleen viel het avondeten een klein beetje tegen. Personeel was erg vriendelijke en behulpzaam. Het hotel was zeer goed bereikbaar.

Beautiful views and surroundings around the property. the rooms were well equiped. access to the property is not very easy and the restaurant which we'd heard good things about was dissapointing especially on the second night of our stay when the food was barely warm and not particulary tasty or fresh

The lodge needs to buy a generator. When the electricity goes out, it has no back up other than (powerful) flashlights (which it distributes in advance).
