WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A “SKYLODGE” AND “STARLODGE”?
The Sky Lodges includes a kitchen, dining room area, bathroom and two bedrooms that sleeps up to four people. Smart ompact Living.

Please take note that there is a steep staircase to the top floor for bathroom and bedrooms in the SkyLodges (not suitable for young children).

The Star Lodges includes all of the above, but there are a few differences. They are a little bit bigger and with just one bedroom they will be more spacious. The stair is less steep and therefore more accessible than the SkyLodges.

With two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, Grand Lodge is perfect for a small group seeking a luxurious escape. Enjoy stunning panoramic views from the beautiful designed lounge and the spacious luxurious kitchen designed by Vipp invites you to cook delicious meals.

VENTILATION
The Star Lodges are now equipped with air conditioning, while the Sky Lodges feature natural ventilation without air conditioning. The absence of air conditioning in the Sky Lodges is typically not problematic due to our temperate climate.


CLEANING
Cleaning upon check out is included in the price. Guests are kindly asked to leave the cabin clean and tidy and in the same condition as found on arrival. This includes making sure all the kitchen equipment (e.g. pots, pans, plates etc.)

KEY
The cabins are self guest check-in and check-out with the smart keypad code given for the front door for your convenience to flexible check-in.
