Accommodation

The Chalet, an up market deluxe hotel is not just a place where the ‘room has a view’, but where every window has a different view!
The apartments are a luxurious Two-room suite with a verandah or balcony. Some are on a single floor while others are duplex units.
Each log cottage or chalet is quaint with a bedroom that opens into a living room with a working fireplace and extends into the dining room. However only the staircase winding up into a second bedroom with sloping roofs completes the romance.
