We had a minor plumbing issue (no hot water) which the staff addressed immediately…on a weekend no less.

Loved this place! Big enough for our family of 5. Kitchen area was super well stocked. They had games and videos to borrow - Yahtzee! Enjoyed the things to do in the area.

Very nice one bedroom villa. Full kitchen with everything you need. Nice staff. Very quiet. Short drive into FJ. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore more.

Advertised wifi so slow it is unusable - takes 5 minutes to load a page. Would have booked elsewhere if we knew this but the area was lovely.

We loved that we could park the car right in front of the house.

Very nice property. Sheep were on the property, which you could pet and feed. The villa was nice. We had a two bedroom. One queen bed and two twin beds for our kids. One full bathroom, another would have been nice, but the one worked well. It was very close to the downtown area, about one KM. there are several good restaurants and all the companies running excursions. Would have me problem recommending.
