Pros: Generous sized rooms opening out onto huge (shared) deck with good views. Rainfall-type shower was great. Good selection of breakfast stuff Cons: the fridge made a bit of a buzzing sound.

Such a great place to stay. Siggi (the owner) makes you feel like part of her family. She let us use herbs and veggies from her garden to cook a great meal on the BBQ to eat out on the deck at sunset. Siggi had some great suggestions for things to do and see. The rooms were large, very comfortable,... More

The extremely friendly, funny, chatty owner showed me the most beautiful and secretive places in the whole area. The rooms... More
