“New cabin style apartment”
They were located about 4 ks from the town centre. Fairly new stand alone cabins with two bedrooms. All mod cons and a laundry is available on site. Helpful and friendly receptionist. Smart tv, full kitchen A great place to stay while exploring the region.

“2/5 Meh”
Not overly impressed with the facility. While our unit was tidy, it really could use a good deep cleaning. It's obviously very dated. When we checked in, communication was a challenge and we both felt rushed off to our unit. (7) ?? Doubtful we would recommend staying here.
