"Very enjoyable stay at the Country Nirvana, we got a wonderful tour around the host’s garden and got to pick some fresh fruit and veggies to have for dinner. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and very peaceful, plus Vinkal (the owner) was super helpful. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property!"

Our second time at this lodge. The room, hosts, cleaners, were all, excuse the accent, FENTISTIC! We just loved the heated floor tiles and heated towel rack, comfy bed, gorgeous kitchen, and relaxing double spa bath! Pillows for me were just a little too soft...but definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious holiday experience!!!

Lovely big appartment and super friendly hosts. We received a welcome email shortly after booking which was a very nice tough. Very welcoming and informative about local things to do and restaurants to visit. Highly recommend would definitely stay there again.

Booked a one bedroom unit and the rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. I thought it would be noisy as we were close to the main road but the unit was very quiet. Check in was easy and the manager/owner was lovely and very helpful. Will definitely stay there again.

Property is right in middle of city centre and easy walking distance to everyone. Car parking is available but $15 per night, which is a bit over the top.

Pity about the welcome we received, which was very off hand. Rest of stay they were pleasant. First impressions count though. Lovely quiet relaxing stay.

Loved the large sized room
Was worried when heard there was a 21st on that night but must have good soundproofing as didn't hear a thing
Only negative it was cold so had to keep wall heater on which was a bit noisy
