FAQs Before Booking Your Stay

  • The Sky Lodges includes a kitchen, dining room area, bathroom and two bedrooms that sleeps up to four people. Smart compact 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.
