Reception was really friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautifully located with direct views on the lake, hidden under a lot of trees. It’s like a little nature reserve with good food and cold drinks. Showers were hot and the outdoor shower is a hidden highlight. And so are their community projects, which are supported through the lodge! It’s been amazing. Thank you
