I had a wonderful stay hiking and mountain biking with Peter, Brenda and the team at Trails End. They offer a comfy and relaxing base for outdoor adventures land it’s close to outstanding vineyards and local markets. Their wellness program, including the Pilates and yoga classes were a great addition to the stay. Highly recommend!!

Sehr zu empfehlen
Tolle Unterkunft! Blitzsauber und sehr nettes Personal! Wir haben in unserer Konstellation mit Baby die Einrichtung zwar nicht voll ausgenutzt (kein Biken, aber für die, die es können - top!), aber haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut.
