Glamping Cabin - Glamping CabinJun 2023

Was good just to get away for a couple days from everything. Enjoyed the outdoor fire and the lake, where we did some fishing and caught a few nice fish. Nice to see the Swans on the lake, as well as ducks etc There was no TV like in the picture, but was not a problem for me as the whole point was just to get away from screens for a while. Barbeque was missing the rack, but we just used a disposable one inside it, which worked fine. Has what you need for camping.

Glamping Cabin - Glamping CabinOct 2022

Great location for a relaxing time. Nearby walks and fishing, if it's your thing. It was great just to switch off and relax from city living and we brought the dog! Paulo was a great host and was on call throughout our stay. The neighbour at the next cabin was also very friendly and welcoming. The cabin can be quite cold in the morning, but doesn't take long to warm up. Really enjoyed our stay and have thoughts of rebooking next year. Left feeling relaxed and recharged. Loved it!
