Average at best
Pretty basic. No place to wash laundry which is an issue when you go hiking and do sports. No flyscreens; had to go go and buy something to get rid of mosquitos. Pictures look much nicer than it actually was. Property needs overhaul! I wouldn’t go back.

Traffic is very convenient and not noisy. The room is cozy and relax. Very recommend for others.
The hot water and cold water are not mix in the bathroom face wash. Since that, it would be better to reduce the temperature of the hot water.

It was very tidy and well priced.
The only issue i had was i arrived quite late, and the web sites phone number went to answer phone.
Was unsure how to access our room, as there was no manager on site.
Otherwise nice place and good value.

Chalet condition was fair compared to the price. A little bit far from the city. However, everything we needed in the chalet was available.

Our 5 year old twin boys LOVED the trampoline and play structure that was right behind our unit. The chalet had everything we needed. Some of the furniture/carpet could use an upgrade.

The property had a trampoline, which was fun. The door to the shower can't close, which would be awkward if you're staying with someone who's not family. Also it's pretty close to a main road, so you'll hear big trucks driving by all night. Definitely use earplugs.

Great option for a night to break up a long drive north. Close to the road so a bit of noise but comfortable bed and tidy accommodation.
We advised we’d be there late, check in was super easy and they left the lights and the heater on which was a great touch - thanks!
