"Beautifully basic"

07 January 2013

"For the same price nothing in the area can compete. The stunning surroundings alone makes sure of that. Drifting on the dam just before sunset will calm any nerves and fade all tension. Not everything was completed and we didn't get any information on what adventures the farm offers, so with grid power, a bit of cleaning up and the rounding off of the project would earn this establishment that extra star."
