Well equipped modern home with 360 degree amazing views.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. The property was well equipped and furnished beautifully. The location and views were unmatched with stunning landscapes in every direction. The hosts have really thought of everything. We would definitely rebook if we make is back to NZ.

Only wish we could have extended our trip to stay even longer.

One of Our Best Stays Anywhere in the World

We’ve stayed in hotels and apartments all around the world, and this has to rank as one of our very best stays. From the moment we booked, the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. The accommodation itself is wonderful - beautifully and tastefully decorated, with so much thought and care evident in every detail. We truly loved what the hosts have created here; it feels both luxurious and warmly inviting at the same time. We only stayed for one night, and as soon as we arrived, we wished we had planned to stay longer. That alone says everything. Highly recommended - an exceptional place to stay.

这是在旷野上的孤独的别墅，周围安静、原生态，极其有助于放松身心！而且内部设施现代、配套齐全，非常舒适。开车去周围超市也不远。

9 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026

Domek jest bardzo przestronny i komfortowo pomieści min. 2 pary. Wyposażenie i standard na bardzo wysokim poziom (odpowiednik 4**** lub może nawet 5***** hoteli butikowych w Europie). Pomimo relatywnie wysokiej ceny, uważamy, że było warto. Bardzo sympatyczni gospodarze, którzy dodatkowo okazali sporo wyrozumiałości w zakresie późniejszego check-out bez dodatkowych opłat.

Oprócz dość wysokiej ceny, nie dostrzegliśmy żadnych minusów - polecamy.
