Heaven on earth. Everything was incredible from the gorgeous room, grounds and view to the delicious food at the restaurant and in the room. Star gazing was so fun and the falconry another experience of a lifetime. Thank you to the staff to making our stay so comfortable. It was such a treat.

The room/bathroom is clean and we were provided with sufficient toiletries, new towels, k-pods, bottled water, etc. Our only problem is the lump at the center of the King size bed.

The drive and views are second to none. No wonder the road gets closed occasionally!
