Wonderful private cabins, with a bedroom, sitting area & kitchen.. Close proximity to the Hamner Thermal Springs & town. Outdoor setting that we enjoyed just before sunset. The kitchen is well equipped to make a meal if you so desire. The staff is friendly & helpful. The accommodation is spotless & comfortable. Highly recommended staying here!

Our 2 bedroom chalet was perfect for our family of five. Kids all in own bedroom with 3 x single beds, all with reading lights over the beds. Our room had double bed plus space in wardrobe to store suitcases. Full kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave that we used each day, and very helpful hosts with information and chalet supplies. Newspaper on our doorstep each morning. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant all around. The four star rating is due to the uncomfortable bed which was a little rocky. The mattress was hard. The sheets were a little rough.
