The property is very beautiful. It is quite rural and very charming. The decorations in the main building are so lively and comfortable. The original paintings by the owner are great. The whole staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is wonderful. There is wonderful hiking right out the door.

Relaxed haven
Gem of a hotel - place is a converted farm at the end of a 3km dirt road. Central building with reception restaurant etc and various smaller buildings with the accommodation. The while place has a slightly hippy feel to it - but with comfort and good food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Public rooms are very welcoming - a variety of eclectically decorated lounges - some partially open which actually make you want to spend time there - lounging. Dinner was a fixed menu - very well executed. Breakfast was also very nice. Room was comfortable and a decent size. It is nice to see a properly lit hotel room with the lights in the correct places - i.e. the ceiling. A few condition issues - shower had not been properly sealed to plaster on the wall was in trouble and the shower itself could have done with a light. Somewhere I will definitely return to.

Very beautiful property with plenty of space to just relax, reading a book and enjoy the nature. The only sound that you will hear will be the sound of the birds. The downside it's the lack of choice for dinner since you have to stick with the whole menu.

shower temperature too hot
the place is very cheerful, everyone is friendly and the food is great. the shower runs too hot and cannot be adjusted to be warm. It’s either too hot or too cold or too little water. you get to see the horses being fed and trained every morning. the place is along a beautiful hiking trail.

Heather

not as good as the marketing made it out to be
The location in the country was beautiful. The rooms were not. Maybe we received a bad one but it was musty, stuffy, dark, and spidery. The air conditioning/fan thing don’t work to keep it from being too hot/stale yet if you opened the one door ( no window) all the bugs came in. Hotels.com said there was WiFi in the rooms ( a necessity when traveling without a phone ) but there was not). Thus we had to hang out in the common areas all night to get maps, driving directions , etc, which isn’t very relaxing. The common areas were really ok but really I would rather have a nice room.
