Overall, we had a nice stay. The sauna and hot tub were wonderful, communication with the manager was quick and pleasant, and the surroundings were very peaceful.
What did disappoint us, however, was the size of the accommodation. There were six of us adults, and we found the space to be really too small for that. One of the beds was very small, and inside, we were quite cramped. It seems fine for four adults and two children, but we wouldn’t recommend it for six adults.
In addition, the temperatures dropped significantly during our stay. The heater struggled to warm the entire tent properly, so we had to use it more to make it comfortable inside. We eventually managed to do so, but it took quite a while. That’s why we didn’t think it was entirely fair that we were charged for the extra energy usage afterward, since this extra usage was necessary to get the accommodation properly warm—otherwise, we would have frozen.Over het algemeen hebben we een fijn verblijf gehad. De sauna en hottub waren heerlijk, de communicatie met de beheerder verliep snel en prettig en de omgeving was erg rustig.
Wat ons wel tegenviel, was de grootte van de accommodatie. Wij waren met zes volwassenen en daarvoor vonden we de ruimte echt te klein. Eén van de bedden was erg klein en binnen zat je behoorlijk dicht op elkaar. Voor vier volwassenen en twee kinderen lijkt het ons prima, maar voor zes volwassenen zouden wij het niet aanraden.
Daarnaast daalden de temperaturen tijdens ons verblijf behoorlijk. De kachel had moeite om de hele tent goed te verwarmen, waardoor we extra moesten stoken om het binnen comfortabel te krijgen. Uiteindelijk lukte dit wel, maar het duurde vrij lang. Daarom vonden we het niet helemaal redelijk dat het extra energieverbruik achteraf bij ons in rekening werd gebracht, aangezien dit extra verbruik nodig was om de accommodatie goed warm te krijgen, en we anders zouden bevriezen.A very peaceful area—it’s completely quiet in the evenings, and overall it’s a very pleasant place. Unfortunately, on the last night, that peace was disrupted by another group setting off fireworks around 2:00 a.m.
Erg rustige omgeving, s'avonds harstikke stil en in het algemeen een erg prettige omgeving. Alleen de laatste avond werd die rust helaas verstoord door een andere groep die rond 02.00 uur ’s nachts nog vuurwerk afstak.

Ontvangst vonden we erg gehaast !
Bij deze weersomstandigheden misschien aardig om te vragen hoe het gaatThis text is automatically translated. -

It was a wonderful stay
Het was geweldig verblijf
A very cozy safari tent. It was an absolute delight, especially with all the peace and quiet and open space around us. The hot tub and sauna really top it off.
Heel sfeervolle safaritent. Het was ontzettend genieten in combinatie met de rust en ruimte om je heen. De hottub en sauna maken het compleet.
