We only stayed one night what a shame, great welcome by Olav the manager shown around this small boutique hotel, more like a home than a hotel, glass of wine later we were shown our lovely room with superb bathroom and facilities. One of the best hotels we stayed in during our six weeks away. More

We just loved this beautiful slice of heaven on the lake with real black swans living out front. The house is freshly updated with comfortable elegance and many modern touches. The stone bath tub was a treat, massages in the conservatory and walks in the extensive old gardens were so relaxing. Brent took very good care of us. Wish we... More

We have just spent a couple of days there, under the thoughtful and considerate care of the host Olaf Hirczy. The decor is modern and edgy (black chandeliers and charcoal carpet - brilliant) and the facilities are exceptional. Fast... More

An absolute gorgeous lodge where the rooms are spacious and detailed. The gardens are equisite as are the upper outside decks and common living room area that over looks them.
