The spacious cedar cabins which accommodate two adults each (C 2 also has sofa bed), have an open plan modern layout and are self-contained as well as having a restaurant 400 metres away.#
Even though they are self contained, "to get you started", we spoil you with a freshly baked loaf, supply some jams, farm fresh eggs and tea & coffee.

The cabins are well appointed with a quiet air conditioner as well as a ceiling fan (and a log fire for the winter months). It also has a LCD TV with DVD/CD player as well as a modern kitchen with dishwasher.

The bathroom with soft lighting has a two person spa and heated towel rail (cabin 2 even has floor heating !). The cabin's verandah with barbeque offers you the chance to unwind and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
