Summary: The lodge was comfortable and well appointed. We mage use of the sun loungers, very pleasant sitting out reading a book and listening to the sound of bird song. Stunning location, very relaxing, so relaxing in fact that we lost track of the days so when Anna rang us to confirm our check out date and we realised it was that very day and we were out on a bike trail we were mortified and had to rush back to pack up. Anna was very understanding. Anna gave us lots of recommendations on activities in the local area to do. The road out to the lodge was a country gravel road, luckily we only met one vehicle coming the other way at night and they backed up which was very kind, not for the faint hearted or inexperieced driver.
