Fantastic private location right on the waterfront but only 5 minutes drive from the wharf and town. Incredible view. Fabulous chalet ("chalet" doesn't do it justice, perfect for those who appreciate 70's/80's architecture with high ceilings and 45 degree angles. The 12-year-old called it "awesome" and said he wanted to live there forever). Two large bedrooms each with a huge ensuite, big well-equipped kitchen and convenient in-chalet laundry. Amazing outlook from large windows in all the rooms. Thoughtfully furnished. Lovely gardens and expansive balconies. A pool house which we didn't use, but good advice from the hosts on the best hot baths in town. Really helpful communication from the hosts, timely and upbeat, nothing too much trouble.

The hospitality and friendliness of the hosts is unparalleled. Their estate is just lovely, you get to meet all the animals if you want, they cook you a fantastic breakfast with homemade bread and even offer to wash dirty laundry. And on top of that the rooms are just lovely and cosy as well as absolutely spotless. All in all it was so lovely, it made us delay our onwards travel to stay with them for longer. Can’t recommend this place enough!

The house was spacious and clean and very welcoming. The kids had enough space and things to do. It was warm enough for a cold night as well. The well equipped kitchen helped for a nice dinner and breakfast for all 8 of us. We stayed only a night but had a great time here. Would definitely stay again if travelling as more than one family.
