When Mark confirmed that we’ll be staying at Lodge 2, I’m not going to lie but I was quite nervous. I previously checked through its website that Lodge 2 has a more accessible bathroom and is well suited for people with mobility difficulties. A few years back, we once stayed in a similar room at one of our favourite high-end resorts in the same region. No exaggeration, we couldn’t believe that the room literally looked and felt like being in a private hospital ward that was overly equipped with facilities for people with mobility difficulties. However, facilities for accessibility in Lodge 2 were not overbearing thanks goodness! They can only be found in the shower & toilet areas, and with both taps from the bathroom and kitchen sinks.
Despite of all that, I never ever felt so relaxed the moment we walked into any of our accommodation in the past! The great weather on our arrival, the gentle breeze and that stunning view of the Pacific Ocean from the balcony also helped! The lodge offers full privacy and pure zen even from just sitting at the balcony. It has all the basics in the kitchen which allowed us to cook our own meals. We were also so impressed with the gardening around the cottages too! Mark and Bruce have done a great job with the whole place! They were so accommodating to lend us a small barbecue and were very quick to respond to any of our queries. The pool looks amazing too but sadly we didn’t have time to enjoy it, perhaps on our next visit. Last but not least, the king-size bed with its linen sheets and pillow covers was just perfect!
It’s now one of our favourites to stay in the hinterland and would love to stay there again! Perfect area to do your outdoor running, if you’re into it, with some uphill challenges to spice it up a little.
