Lovely spot
Open plan living and sleeping with separate bathroom. Good design. Lovely outside living. Very private (apart from occasional car down next door driveway and some lovely doggy visitors). Well equipped. Idyllic location. Helpful owners. Well stocked and with breakfast provisions which was a nice extra touch. Very enjoyable stay.

The lodge was well appointed & is new. It was open plan and the deck out the back afforded privacy.
Tara & Glenn were very hospitable and made our stay a pleasure. Say Hi to Zeus and Zela if you stay.
