Wonderful for nature lovers

It could be a wonderful stay for nature lovers as the units are located right in to thick plantations....For business travellers, a bit away from the city & recreational facilities.

Mooi in de natuur. Je heb wel vervoer nodig als je daar verblijft. Eigenaar erg vriendelijk en goede service en erg behulpzaam. We zijn door hun gebracht naar restaurant en weer opgehaald. Ook zijn we naar airport gebracht.
