A lovely place. One of three domes nestled together, so you will hear folks from the other domes if they are playing music, but in my case it quieted down… read more by 10pm so no particular concerns. There aren’t a lot of accommodation options in this area, so its nice to see they didn’t cheap out on the quality of the finishings in a place where there are few other options. This would be the sort of place you could do your own nordic circuit if you wanted between the lake, the hot tub and the sauna.

We also enjoyed the sauna and a cold dip – the whole experience was a rejuvenating escape. We came hoping to create a “bubble” of relaxation and found exactly that here. They really thought of everything to create a luxurious experience. The hosts Rowan and Walaa were incredible, very responsive, friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed at so many airbnbs and this one really stands out. I can’t wait to come back!
