Magnifique, nous étions dans la chambre au bord d un petit lac avec terrasse. La chambre était super sympa, le petit déjeuner parfait et le repas aussi. Si vous êtes avec un enfant c'est l'endroit idéal car avec tout ces animaux c'est le top. Vous pouvez rentrer dans l'enclos où il y a les lapins, dindons et canards, et leurs donner a manger.

Nothing as the road to the facility was blocked due to rock fall and flooding I called to try get alternative route or reschedule booking, staff totally unhelpful and could not give alternatives merely referred me to cancellation policy, no refund,no alternative or reschedule even though this was a natural disaster.

Everything about this place as staff were the most unaccommodating and unsympathetic we have experienced even though I called and we had travelled 12 hours already with 2 small kids.

Die Lodge ist sehr weitläufig und schön angelegt. Die sehr vielen Hasen durften frei rumlaufen und das fanden wir sehr schön.

Leider waren zu unserer Zeit nur 6 Strausse auf der Farm. Hier wäre eine Info in der Beschreibung hilfreich. Die Strausse sind nur im SA Sommer auf der Farm.
