Image getting up in the morning and strolling down to the waters edge with a piping hot mug of coffee as the sun starts to rise. Magic. 

The contrast between the modern, stylish lodges and the wild countryside makes this a very special place to escape to.

There’s the on-site health club, which is open to guests staying in the lodges. This area of the complex is home to a fitness suite that includes machines, cardiovascular equipment and free weights, ideal for guests who like to keep active on their holidays.
