What Our Guests Are Saying

Bad beds but wonderful view of nature!

Jan Burger

We loved the location of the cottage. The huge bay windows and close to the water. We loved that it was so close to all the national park. Nice neighbours who were friendly and respectful. So relaxing to sleep to the sound of waves! The campfire was great. We loved to go swimming and paddling in the canoe and kayaks. The double bed was horrible. The middle was broken where the slats were suppose to be on. During the night they kept falling out around three times a night we woke up. The bed was too soft. Definitely need to get a new double bed for that bedroom. We had dirty pans that had grease still in them when we came in. The lifejakets that were hanging outside were moldy. I got a blister on my hand from the paddle.
