Our Story
This has always been a family business, built with love since its earliest days. I found this beautiful place during Covid, in the strange stillness when everything else was closed. Something about it stayed with me. So I took a leap of faith and bought it, not knowing what was coming next, but knowing this was somewhere worth caring for.
It has given me so much in return, not just as a livelihood, but as something deeper. It’s become my passion, my home, and my main source of spirit. And the most wonderful part of all is that I get to share it with you.
The couple who first built this place, Carel and Elsbeth, have since retired, but the warmth they started here is something I carry forward every day, in every welcome.
My mission is simple, to make you feel at home. Alongside that, we care deeply for the earth and nature around us, protecting what we’ve been given, so we can all enjoy this beauty in harmony and stay this way for many more generations to come.
Thank you for your patronage. I hope that you have a wonderful stay. Enjoy our natural, sub-alpine environment and truly experience all that our region has to offer.
Stay safe.
Your host,
Mandy Nguyen
