There are 2 swimming pools, a trampoline, a jungle gym, and lots of space for the kids. There are sheep, horses, goats, and ducks and we have a large chicken run to make your fresh eggs for breakfast. We have recently added Inverters to all our units, this means the lights are always on. This is true for the main restaurant as well. Please also note our 3.2km gravel road.
