Darline, the host is so amazing! She gives personal attention, fine chocolate, a lovely beautiful room with view to the lake and to the garden. The bed was so comfortable and also the bed sheets. Breakfast felt as if we are in a Palace. Everything so impressive, like royalty 💮 We highly recommend this place with wonderful Darline.

Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, and staff seemed very concerned that we'd be angry - the place is relatively new and there were a couple of other guests who were engaged in quite aggressive conversations with other staff at the time. Seems like there are some issues that need ironing out. However I have no complaints, we were given a beer each, went to park the car across the street, and by the time I returned the room was ready. Room was perfect, bed was huge, swimming pool was a welcome addition. It was only a layover but would have happily spent another night. I think the staff member who helped us might have been called Vern or something similar. He was a really nice guy.
