Holiday House Zrmanja Vrelo

Perhaps I have never slept in such a comfy bed as here. The flat was newly renovated/built and it was quite clean. Dushanka and Damir were really great hosts. Though we spent one night in the house only, they welcomed us with local delicacies: prosciuttio (smoked ham), cheese, freshly baked bread, juice, candies, fresh fruits, spirit, etc. We loved the endless silence, the voice of wildlife, the fresh air, and the Milky Way was so bright from the terrace as I saw it from the village I grew up in decades ago. Most of the travelers go to the Croatian coasts for vacation and miss visiting the intrinsic mountainous regions of the country. However, these amazing geological formations deserve much more attention. This was our third visit in the Velebits, so we already knew the beauty of this land, but still, this is definitely a place where we need to come back in the future.

Everything! We will come back for sure. :)

Amazing location, really spacious accommodation, everything is new and nice.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous! Amazing apartment, kitchen well equipped, comfy beds great view from the balcony... Best thing about this apartment are the hosts, so warm and welcoming, treated us with refreshments, drinks & fruits

You can likely feel from the photos that you'll able to find some serenity, peace and quiet here and that is absolutely accurate. The countryside in the area is beautiful and reminds one of the cinematography commonly found in westerns and apparently there have indeed been a number of westerns filmed in this area. The apartment is modern, spacious, clean, cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and stocked with basics to get you started and with a bonus of some delicious homemade and local delicacies and refreshments which was very kind and thoughtful of the hosts. There were plenty of clean and soft towels of various sizes and lots of storage space for our things throughout the apartment. Our family prefers smaller and thinner pillows, so the ones here were a bit too big for us but the beds are very comfortable and it is important to note in this heat that each room has its own AC if needed (and each has a TV as well). The wifi was great in any of the rooms. There are 3 terraces/balconies, so you can make the most of the shade/sun. The hot tub was a hit as well and it's nice to have comfy lounge chairs to watch the starry sky at night. The hosts were very warm and welcoming and helpful. The village is very small and has no amenities so it's wise to stop in one of the neighbouring towns (Knin is about 25 minutes away) on your way here to get any provisions you might need. There are a lot of beautiful spots in the area to explore so if you'd like a vacation, or a part of your vacation, to include some peace and quiet, off the beaten path, Holiday House Zrmanje Vrelo could be the perfect base for you. We would definitely stay here again. Our sons (15 and 13), and our dog, especially loved it and enjoyed trekking to the source of the Zrmanja river. We were sorry we couldn't stay a couple more nights to really relax and unwind but are grateful we found this gem for future trips.

Hot tubs take a bit of time to warm up, of course, and at first, we didn't think we needed it to be too warm as it was such a hot day, but in the evening, Zrmanje gets a little cooler, which was wonderful, but having the hot tub warmer that evening would have made the experience much better. This was no fault of the owners as they offered to increase the temperature when we arrived so I am sure it would have been perfect had we stayed one more night. We managed to enjoy it the next morning before we left, though. Having a few different sized pillows for sleeping as alternative options would be a great addition to an otherwise practically perfect stay.

What a lovely place, amazing view on the mountain! Everything was perfect, damir and Dušanka are so friendly ! We just love this place, at least it wasn't enough to stay only two days! One week at less. Just near by krka national Park, not so far away from plitvice Park and a New national Park of dinara! Everything we need were There and much more.

This place was absolutely amazing! Everything was brand new, and we found everything we could possibly need, from a washing machine and iron to board games and a first aid kit. The place itself is spacious, calm, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with a toaster, coffee machine, pots and pans, and you can even find some salt, oil, coffee, and tea. The highlight was definitely the hot tub, which provided the perfect setting for relaxation and stargazing. The host was extremely nice, going above and beyond by preparing a fruit, ham, and cheese plate, along with juice and milk. They even air-conditioned the space before our arrival. This place is absolutely incredible, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Very helpful staff, many inormations about wild area to rest in nature. The apartament is absolutly new and great. Many detalies are inside.it is reason to rest in big comfort. There are two comfort bedrooms with big living room.

We were too short!

Beautiful place to stay. The host is very generous and the price was very low for such good accommodation. The host was very generous and prepared a very nice plate of food for us since we did not have groceries with us. It was highly appreciated. The host also walked with us to show places which were 15 min walk from the accommodation. It was an exceptionally nice gesture I would say. we walked and run in the neighborhood. There is a cave to visit 20km away from the place and also the start of the river which in high water time has a waterfall that would be nice to visit. We walked there but there was lower water and no waterfall at the end of June 2023

The grocery shop is 20-30km away, so make sure to bring the groceries you need upon arrival.

The apartment and the hosts exceptional. Very pleasent and frendly hosts! In the apartment you can find everything that you may need: salt, pepper, oil, beers, juice, sweets, rakija, homemade cold meats... I strongly recomend this place!
