    The hot tub was lovely to relax in after a long day exploring.

  • Julian

    Hot tub was lush and used daily. As stated in listing, it is very remote which we loved, but may not suit everyone.

  • Andrew

    All top quality appliances and equipment - including outside furniture and BBQ. Hot tub was perfect, clean and fully functioning. The lodge itself is in a quiet and tranquil setting. Nearby towns, and beaches are just a short drive away. Nothing negative to say at all.
