I had a wonderful fun 3 days here .Dan and Brian are great hosts , with Dan being an exceptional chef . I highly recommend having there evening meal even though it’s served a little late for me it was worth it .The lodge is very clean and my room was huge with an upstairs bedroom and bathroom ,stairs are steep ! As the lodge is all wood the down stairs was dark with a small balcony so not really used! Yoga mats provided for self practice. I loved the location with a little walk up to the lodge .

Outstanding! The lodge is beautiful and the owners are super friendly. You feel very welcome and it's very informal. Nice conversations, games evenings together or delicious dinners are just as much a part of the experience as the exceptionally clean and tastefully furnished rooms and facilities! It doesn't get any better than this! Love to you <3

Es ist einfach wunderbar dort. Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber. Der Ausblick Weltklasse. Und vor allem verwöhnen Daniel und Brian ihre Gäste mit sehr leckerem Essen und guten Getränken. Man fühlt sich fast wie zu Hause.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Daniel et Brian. Très bien placé, au calme, et facilement accessible en bateau. Daniel nous a organisé les tours à partir du lodge, très appréciable. De la piscine nous avons pu admirer un paresseux…quel souvenir ! Cerise sur le gâteau, Daniel est un excellent chef, sa cuisine est remarquable! Et que dire du petit déjeuner et des cocktails de Brian…
