A++++ accommodation! The setting is so beautiful and makes for a very relaxing stay. The pizza made on site was delicious and the pastries were PERFECTION - I assumed she learned in Paris. The owners are so hard working and were so friendly and accommodating - ensuring we had a wonderful stay. My kids loved exploring the games and made use of the sports equipment. The outdoor kitchen is so cool! Highly recommend!

Stopped here for a night after our whale watching trip. Very nice location, our room was directly facing the river. The entire site is very clean and everything is arranged with lots of love and passion. Great outdoor kitchen and delicious breakfast!

This place is magnificent. The owners are so friendly and truly make you feel at home. The entire premises are impeccably clean. The outdoor areas are welcoming and so cozy. We especially loved the blankets provided and the hammocks. I would give them ten stars if I could!!!

Lovely owners, excellent rooms. And the best pizzas I have had in Canada - bases as good as you would get in Naples.

We booked this place based on google reviews and thankful we did!! We had a one night stay before going whale watching. This place is so beautiful, the setting is gorgeous and the owners are very kind and hard working from what we observed. We stayed in room 4 and it was very spacious with two beds. All amenities were in the room and if you needed anything the owner was accommodating. We did not use their outdoor kitchen and regret that we did not bring food to cook because we did not want to leave to go out for dinner. Parking is easy and plentiful. Highly recommend and we hope to be back someday!

Amazing place and amazing staff ! Even after forgetting our reservation, they found a solution and we had a marvellous time there with our 3 years old girl. Breakfast was really good and nice to be taken outside next to the river. For sure we will go there again next time ! There is a playground for children and a wide barbecue space for a nice dinner outside.

We spent two nights in the Queen Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was beautiful, the suite was very comfortable and had excellent attention to detail and finished. Super kind and welcoming hosts, gorgeous area, and very good value for the price. Would absolutely book again.
