    An extraordinary escape nestled amidst the mountains.

    • Family Suite

    For families with older children, I would recommend considering booking two separate rooms instead of the family room. This suggestion is based on the fact that the family room's layout might not offer the desired privacy due to shared spaces like stairs, and having just one bathroom for all occupants could potentially be inconvenient. Opting for separate rooms could enhance overall comfort and privacy for everyone.

    The host's performance was nothing short of remarkable. Their unwavering dedication to even the minutest aspects was genuinely extraordinary. The cleanliness was impeccable. The diverse menu was thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse preferences of our entire family. A special mention goes to the fantastic play area that makes this place highly recommended for families with young children.

    Some of the dinner options could do with a some extra flavour especially the steak and calamari dishes. It would have also been nice to a shower upstairs and some serving utensils in the room.

    From the time we arrived we were treated with a great amount of professionalism and warmth. Robyn and her team went outbid there way to make our stay memorable and seamless. The views were absolutely amazing and it definitely allows for you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city. We loved the touch of the rocky pools and the entertainment area which gave us every reason to stay at the lodge with very little need to venture out. The breakfast menu was also rich with some great tasty options.

    I would have loved another shower in the bathroom upstairs.

    The breakfast was amazing. The menu had a great variety of dishes and the views from the restaurant were breathtaking. The bubbly and helpful Robyn made our stay extra special. She is very knowledgeable about the area. Her recommendations of places to see and things to do met all of our family members' expectations and needs. Thank you Robyn for the excellent service!

    The beds are very hard & the acoustics of the restaurant/lobby room are not good, gets noisy quickly.

    Lovely hotel with amazing staff. Very rarely do you come across such accommodating, service oriented, friendly staff in hotels. The chef is also amazing, we had breakfasts, lunches and dinners all of equal great standard and presentation!
