Natural beauty enjoyed luxuriously

The Hotel offers the opportunity to experience mouth-watering natural beauty very luxuriously. The mountains are given the respect they deserve, with a multitude of well-looked-after hiking trails to fully experience the natural beauty around. Accommodation is luxurious and daily meals are an absolute treat! We would definitely return.

Hidden gem in the mountains

Really friendly staff. Always helpful. Hungry? No problem, a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner is included in your stay. With an array of foods to choose from. Morning and afternoon teas are also included! Top class. Our daughter (3) was presented with loads of kiddies’ activities, including pony rides, art and crafts and tractor rides. The rooms are clean spacious, and are serviced daily. A lovely place to experience.

Peace and Tranquillity

The Hotel was everything that you would expect from a top class establishment with lots of activities to keep the children busy but peaceful and tranquil enough to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and nature surrounding you. From the hikes to the bowling greens, it was an absolute spoil!

An amazing experience

This is the coziest hotel on the mountain peak with the most stunning view! There are plenty of activities to partake in during the day which leaves little room for boredom. The meals are to die for and all the staff members are super friendly and helpful.

Amazing location with so much to do!!!!!

From the moment we arrived at the hotel to the minute we left we felt like we were on vacation. The staffs are extremely welcoming and well mannered. If you have Kids, there is a playroom plus babysitters if you want to have a little fun in the evening. The horse riding is a must. The views are spectacular. Wide variety for breakfast lunch and supper. Please try the fresh trout and the stir-fry. We will definitely be back!!!

Wonderful for family with kids!

There are many activities for children. The hotel is mindful of kids and set up accordingly. The buffet meals have many options even for picky eaters and there are high-chairs in the dining room. I never felt unwelcome with our children.
