    The bed and bedding in our room was surprisingly very comfortable! Everyone we met was very friendly and gave us great advice on things to do during our stay and beyond. Walking distance to the Half King Fisher Trail.

    If you love nature, you'll definitely appreciate this bohemian like hostel in nature. They organise frequent open mike nights and they have a beautiful bar where locals come too. I loved the bonfire and the kayaktrip we did.

    The location was great and we appreciated that there was a kitchen we could use. We were able to walk to town and to a nearby walking trail. We loved the birdwatching nearby and even on the property!
