"We arrived late at night at Zagreb and encountered delays at the airport for receiving our bags and securing our hire car. We had only booked our stay that afternoon and I was nervous on how long the drive would take, whether google maps would be reliable to locate the cottage and also if check in would be a problem.
Each step of the way, i communicated to the Host Natalie and she was so accommodating and helpful. She sent us videos and guidance that put my mind at ease allowing for a late night check in (roughly 12:30am we arrived). The breakfast the next morning was lovely too and rivalled some big hotels we had stayed in recently. We only stayed one night before going to the lakes - would not hesitate to stay here again - it’s gorgeous!
There is great parking on site too.
Two additional tips I would suggest for travellers. Book your lake tickets in advance in peak season (it gives you a window for entry). Depending on your fitness levels, factor in a full 6-8hrs of walking for the day if you’re doing both the upper and lower lakes. We were quite tired afterwards and would have been happy to stay another night but we drove onwards to split afterwards (quite intense). Just make sure you consider the size of the park so you’re not stressed as it’s huge!
Thank you Natalie for making this trip so memorable - we loved every minute"
