"Séjour de rêve en pleine nature et détente avec le spa."

10.0

Personnel accueillant et compétent, literie confortable, logement bien chauffé. Nous étions dans la chambre 19 (villa 2 chambres). Très bon petit déjeuner. Spa incontournable! Parking gratuit bien pourvu. Jardin très beau, bien entretenu.

Piscine non chauffée, dommage. Peu d’ustensiles de cuisine dans la villa.

A unique location. The premises are olde worldly in parts (but fantastic) but our room was renovated, modern and very comfortable. The dinner and breakfast were great.

Nothing. A happy experience.

"Stunning views & friendly staff but lack of cleanliness and attention to detail was disappointing"

4.0

The drive from the road to the accommodation nestled in the heart of the ranges is spectacular! The air was fresh & the views from our apartment and main reception areas were breathtaking. We were given the opportunity to upgrade our garden spa apartment to the one next to it (which had a much better view) for only $15 (definitely worth it!) The bed in our accommodation was comfortable and the shower pressure was excellent. We had a delicious cooked breakfast in the restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful view while we ate.

Unfortunately the garden spa apartment wasn’t as clean as we would’ve liked. The spa bath needed cleaning and there were spider webs, dirty windows and dirty windowsills throughout the apartment. There was no dishcloth and the cups provided were too small to make a decent hot drink in. The ice tray in the freezer was only partially filled up. There were lights not working in the kitchen and bathroom. Although the vintage vibe of the resort is undoubtedly cool (you can really feel its history!) The place is definitely in need of some tlc to renovate & update it.
