Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. Restaurant’s dinner was great both nights. Well worth the price. Rooms don’t have a lot of cross ventilation or screens so using the aircon was needed. Bed wasn’t the most comfy but that’s low on the importance list.

Lovely Experience

Pleasantly surprised at the lodge. Service was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful - even organising additional activities for us. Special thank you to Anna who was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Dinner service was well presented and delicious. Accommodation was clean and well-maintained. Aircon was strong enough to cool the room throughout and bathroom + kitchen were spacious and tidy.
