Love the vibe, the pool, the clever design of the rooms and most of all the lights, which are ambient and not fluorescent like in most other motels. And the pizza place next door is great too.

What an exceptional property. The styling and vibe of this place is incredible. We were a family of four and thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon swim, followed by the many choices of restaurants on offer in Bruns. We will be back and we will of course be telling all of our friends!
