"Beautiful location, clean and tidy cabin"

8.0

The location slightly out of town, beautiful view, spacious bathroom and stand alone cabin and well equipped kitchenette. Very clean and tidy

The bedroom was upstairs in an attic style. The ceiling was slanted both sides so you couldn’t sit up in bed and you had to make sure you didn’t knock your head getting in and around the space. This cabin also had room for 4 people to sleep, but you wouldn’t all want to have luggage as there is no room for it upstairs or downstairs

"Natuurhuisje dichtbij Franz Josef"

9.0

Wat een waanzinnige locatie! Fijn voor een paar nachtjes in de natuur. Verblijf hier minimaal 2 nachten, wij waren er 3 nachten en dat was perfect.

Jammer dat we een paar dingen misten, zoals een droogrek en plankjes of een kastje om kleding in op te bergen. Nu moesten we alles in de tassen laten of op de grond leggen. Verder geen op- of aanmerkingen!

"Very cute and woodsy"

9.0

Super cute little cabins! Loved the woodsy vibe with plenty of outdoor space. The sauna and hot tub were a great amenity to have. Very clean and loved the check in process.

The stairs were a little narrow and steep, hard for my mother to walk up and down so if mobility is an issue this might not be the best spot for you.

"A perfect private stay with a remarkable view."

10.0

This location is perfect. There is no TV, fair warning. I don't consider this a disadvantage but it is worth noting. We love this, it is adorable and so private. The location is pristine, I can't say enough. I found the online pictures to look a bit more rustic than it was in my opinion. It was so charming and the sheep in the yard nearby complete it perfectly. I included a picture from our front porch.

"We loved this cozy, private and beautiful chalet which was so well located!"

10.0

It was a very cozy, comfortable and well thought-out chalet. Although there were other chalets on the property, we felt very secluded and private. The chalet was furnished and built of wooden materials made by the owner on the premises and was very reflective of the New Zealand culture of respect for the environment. We just loved it here!

Nothing at all!
