Reviewed Mar 23, 2026It was a comfortable place, well suited for 9 people. Quite basic, functional.
7/10
Reviewed Mar 15, 2026It was clean and each bedroom had an ensuite
It’s called a lodge which indicates luxury and character. It’s just a holiday house with little warmth of character, no view and has no laundry facility.
6/10
Reviewed Feb 23, 2026整体上过得去，干净程度及格，离好牧羊人教堂不近，所以晚上如果想要步行去那边看星空的话有点远
我预定时号称五卧室的整套房子，到达时只打来了两间卧室，给房东打电话赶来后，也因为我们只有8个人，于是只给开四个房间，锁住了一间，这个点在预定时从未提及，甚至 booking 页面上都大喇喇写着你可以完整拥有这套五卧室公寓。这点给预定者感受非常不好，未来预定的人也请注意这一点，看起来你预定了一套完整的房子，然而你并不能获得其中所有的房间的使用权。 作为一个独栋公寓，房东也不提供任何洗衣设备，说是我们只待一天，所以不提供。

Price is a bit of high.
6/10
Reviewed Dec 10, 2025Location was good and quiet.
One of the beds was so uncomfortable that one of our party had to sleep on the floor. The property was advertised as 5 bedrooms - so I expected all bedrooms to be available - our uncomfortable person could have moved to another bed if this was the case. There was no view from the living areas and it was very dark inside. There was an incessant beeping that we couldn't locate when we were cooking. There was no spare toilet paper in one of the bathrooms.
7/10
Reviewed Dec 2, 2025Property was good but there was a mismanagement. We have a group of 10 people + 1 tour manager. Initially we had booked the house for 10 people. Later we added our tour manager's accommodation in the same house at extra cost. But instead they arranged his accommodation somewhere else. He had to walk almost 2.5 kms to get there in late in the evening, which was not acceptable. The management could have accommodated him in the same house. It was such a hassle.
