Each night we were able to watch a whale play in the bay with the sun setting behind it with beautiful icebergs. A very mice way to end the day. The hotel is just outside the town but it was easy to get in by taxi or bus.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed in one of the cabins which was wonderful. Very spacious, heated floors and gorgeous views. The only downside was getting to the room, as they are outside you need to walk along the external footpath, parts of which are stone/gravel and very uneven to reach the wooden path. It was quite difficult getting a heavy suitcase up the stairs in the freezing cold. Staff were friendly, food was excellent and there is also a free shuttle to and from the airport. Make sure you book with reception the night prior to departure. Approx 20 min to walk into town or you can get the bus or order a taxi at reception. The bus timetable is displayed at the reception desk.

Glass cabin is nice but small

We stayed one night in the glass cabin. The view is nice but the room is quite small. During day time on a sunny day the room can get pretty warm. One other thing I didn’t realize before the stay was that any small LED lights at night are reflected on multiple glass panels which could be annoying for some. I would opt for a larger suite in the main building next time.
