スタッフはいい感じ。 暖炉を付けてくれ、ベットに湯たんぽを入れてくれます。WiFiもレセプションと近いので入る。夕食はとても美味しいです。サニパスからは無理でしたけど、2WDでほかのボーダーから行けます。景色は最高。

I’m sure on a good day with out rain this place is fabulous. But the day we arrive it was raining all day. Therefore we had to sit in the bar with a fire burning away. The staff are lovely and welcoming, the dinner we had was not too bad actually. Would love to come back with nicer weather to truly appreciate the place.

Tout était parfait durant notre séjour au Sani... le personnel adorable souriant et disponible. Ils s’assurent vraiment que vous ayez tous le nécessaire. Nous y sommes allés en hiver et ils distribuaient des bouillottes et faisait un feu de cheminée dans les hutes.
