Cosy and quiet area, very peaceful stay. The cabins were bigger and nicer than I expected, had everything you need. Surrounded by horse paddocks and a great place to watch the stars at night. Loved it!

With limited accommodation available in the area, these cabins are very welcoming, clean and convenient. Communication with the very accommodating staff was absolutely excellent. Not sure I would want a long term stay here on the outskirts of Lara but excellent and convenient for a shorter stay.
