Excellent

Almost everything about our stay was excellent, my only issue and it may well not bother others, but the linen is more like a nylon fabric which I personally don’t like at all. Our host was delightful and helpful, the breakfast was very good and the property & room immaculate ! There is even a pool for cooling off/relaxing! It is in very close proximity to the Plitvice lakes.

Wonderful place - strongly recommended

This is a beautiful place and will be even better when the swimming pool is completed next month. It is spotlessly clean and we were made very welcome. It's not far from the Plitvice lakes - the purpose of our visit to the area. As we were in motorcycle clothing and the weather was hot, Ivanka, the owner kindly arranged for her partner to drive us to the Lakes entrance and collect us again at the end of the day. The breakfast was superb. We ate dinner at a restaurant within 10mins walking distance Will definitely stay there again. Thank you

Good value for money, very clean

It is a great location, not far from Entrances 1 and 2 of Plitvice National Park. It was very clean. Nice, large rooms with great bathroom. Hand-held shower was a little awkward to use. Bathroom was large. Ivanka’s husband helped with luggage upon arrival and departure – greatly appreciated especially with room on second floor. The breakfast, which wasn’t included at 7 Euros, was excellent: Eggs, sausage, toast, cheese, meats, juice, choice of coffee or tea served in very nice breakfast room. Our second room on first floor had a mirror across from the window. You could look into the room from exterior and difficult to close draperies. It was a safe, secure area which made it all right. Our host, Ivanka, was welcoming. It would have been helpful it she had more information about the tourist office and park hours. She did direct us to great restaurants in the area, which was appreciated. Parking was free and Plitvice was nearby. House Sara had outdoor covered seating where we enjoyed locally produced wine bought at a nearby grocery store. Ivanka’s roses were spectacular.

Eenvoudig appartement nabij de Plitvice meren

Eenvoudig appartement. Wij hadden een appartement bovenin dus een paar trappen op. Er was geen balkon. Een airco in de hal van het appartement. Goede bedden. De badkamer ruikt muf en had een douche met douchegordijn. Het appartement was schoon en wordt beheerd door de vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaresse.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at House Sara. The host gave us ideas to where we could go, so we found a wonderful offspring of the pltivice lakes. The rooms where clean, breakfast was fine and parking lots where aviable. It is really close to pltivice lakes (~7 mins).
