Amazing mountain views
Lovely stay with spacious room
Feel they could provide ice without charging for it!
It's not a budget place
Great restaurants in town

We enjoyed our stay. No hairdryer in the room. No dressing gowns
We found the accommodation very difficult to find the numbers of the cottages where that small we had to get out the car to read what number it was. A very good breakfast

We had a one night stay as a couple at Gaikou lodge. It has the potential to be incredible however does need some attention. I do however understand that Covid has been hard on these properties. The garden is stunning and rooms well appointed. Comfortable bed and clean. Not the most friendly welcome or goodbye and the wifi didn’t work at all in our room. A stunning location and breakfast was delicious. With a more friendly welcome and a little touch up this has the potential to be outstanding. I hope we can return soon.

Not worth the money
Property is in serious need of maintenance. Rooms are very outdated and furniture is old and extremely dirty. The couch is covered with an old blanket to “hide” the filthy old cushions and armrests are brown and greasy from the filth. Public areas is dilapidated and rundown with no attention to detail, weeds growing between paving, grass is overgrown etc etc. Television is extremely old. This place is clearly not living up to its potential and very poorly managed.

We stayed at Gaikou lodge for one night. We could easily spend more nights because it was very nice. The garden is huge and the views are amazing.
