"Fantastic view, friendly staff, family suite had everything we needed to allow for light cooking, prompt kettle for tea and instant coffee, and small fridge to keep food and beverage cool. Will stay again!"

8/10 Good
"Unique, stand-alone apartments/suites on a scenic site. Close to a beautiful but challenging hiking trail. A little cafe is within a few minutes walking distance, as is a hotel with a restaurant and bar. There are no beverages or snacks. Check-in is flawless if you read your email from 2 days before. (We were traveling and didn’t check.) No air conditioning, but open windows cooled the room. In the end, it might have been nice to stay another night or two."
