A upmarket lodge that was recently refurbished. Our room number 10 was large and tastefully furnished with a large modern bathroom and good amenities. The breakfast and dinner served at the restaurant was high quality. All the staff we encountered were polite and friendly.

It was quiet & peaceful & relaxing. Staff were friendly & helpful. Outdoor dining area was just lovely with a lovely garden. Expedia's pricing on line was confusing. We ended up paying more per night than what was advertised.

Excellent client service and upscale feel to the entire property. While a bit “off the beaten path”, was really quiet, much less commercialized but we were treated to a beautifully appointed room, a fine dining meal and atmosphere with superb service and quality.
