Great Stay and staff!

The staff is amazing from our communication with Pete and arranging our stay and the service we received in the restaurant and the reception desk. So warm and friendly. The room size was large giving us room for our ski bags etc. Please with everything. The only negative was hearing some noise between rooms. But easily o relooked with all the positives.

Clean, good location and friendly staff.

Friendly welcoming host. Room spacious and clean. Light breakfast in morning very nice. Handy to Hot pools that are well worth a visit. Only issue was our room in main lodge backed onto a shower in the room next door so as walls thin when shower was run it was woke you in morning.
