Ein wunderschöner, besonderer Platz

Wir waren im August mit 14 Personen (Erwachsene und Jugendliche) für 3 Tage bei Nic und haben genau das gefunden, was wir gesucht haben. Wir hatten die Zimmer im Haus und alle 4 Zelte gemietet und waren besonders vom Komfort der Zelte begeistert. Trotz der Hitze wurde es nachts im Zelt angenehm kühl und durch die großen Doppelbetten hatte man dennoch den Eindruck , man schläft im Hotelzimmer. Im Garten von Nic gibt es viele versteckte Sitzmöglichkeiten mit tollem Blick auf die Umgebung un jede Menge Fotomotive. Die Outdoor-Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und alles ist sehr sauber. Nic hat an beiden Abenden für unsere große Gruppe gekocht und wir können nur jedem empfehlen, dieses Angebot von ihm zu nutzen. Wenn man das Bad im Haus nicht mitgemietet hat, kann das eine WC mit Dusche draußen eventuell etwas knapp bemessen sein. Insgesamt absolut weiterzuempfehlen - etwas Besonderes!

Great place to relax with family

We really enjoyed our stay. Very laidback atmosphere with a great outside kitchen that was very well equipped. The host Nic is very friendly, helpful and flexibel and willing to arrange anything you need to enjoy your holiday to the max. Cute little pool that is perfect for the kids to cool of in the summer heat and plenty of pretty riverside beach spots and rockpools in the area to go to. We were traveling with our three kids (6,4,1) and they also totally loved the place! If you visit, make sure you ask Nic to prepare a nice breakfast or dinner for you, you won't be disappointed!
