Papi and Jan gave us a warm welcome. The place and the grounds were wonderful and refreshing. The staff, housekeeping and kitchen, were really friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed our stay over! Kids enjoyed the swimming pool and dinner was nice and homey! Beautiful setting - the 25 km dirt road was in good condition and it was worth the travel!
