    Lovely landscape just outside with close walk to the waterfall and great views through the window. Comfy beds, clean house overall. Cozy kitchen and patio outside of it for a morning tea with a view.

    There were more people sharing the bathroom facilities than I had expected from the booking process.

    Good location perfect for a roadtrip. Very straight-forward accommodation, but good kitchen facilities and the property seemed well looked-after.

    Nothing

    Everything was great and clean. You can walk until the waterfall (and avoid paying the car Park entrance). Rooms and dining room have a great view on the waterfall

    The entry code was going to be sent to us the day before we were to arrive. However we were hiking on the trail with no wifi nor cell and so would have had no way of receiving the code. However one of the hut custodians called the owner for us and got us the code a few days early, so all worked out.

    Very convenient location. Quick walk to the falls and the bus stop. View of falls from our room. Comfortable bed. Nice change from the huts we had been staying in for the past six days or so.

    We did not like that the hand towels were shared by all guests in the shared bathroom rather than having your own. The shower curtain allowed water to get all over the floor. Many using the bathroom left it all wet when they finished.

    The bed was comfortable and the location was good.

    There was nowhere to purchase food in town except for the fancy restaurant in a neighboring hotel.

    We enjoyed the company of the people in other rooms. The shared space was clean and well equipped. Our private space was just what we needed after a long day of hiking.

    We spent 2 nights there and the first night we both showered in cold water, but the second night we tried the other bathroom and it was much much better. Everything expect that was great :)

    It was our third time staying here and every year we are just as pleased :) Obviously, the location is incredible. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything you might need.

    Unfortunately it was pretty noisy during the quiet hours as the owner doesn't live there and doesn't keep an eye on the situation, it was a bit disturbing. The temperature of the water was constantly changing resulting in lukewarm showers and being unable to drink from the tap. Unfortunately, it would be nice if the bathrooms were cleaner as there was unpleasant odour coming from the toilets.

    The location of the guesthouse is perfect as well as the view outside the window surrounded by the waterfalls and sheep. There is almost everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Also there is a charging station nearby which was very convenient for us.
