WOW. the lodges are fully equiped and modern but feel like they belong in this beautiful natural haven. We booked for two nights and had to stay for 3 we couldn't tear ourselves away.

My partner and I spent three wonderful days at this beautifully appointed retreat. The location in Julatten is fabulous for those wishing to get away from beach crowds or heat.
