- TiinaCanada“Beautiful location with stunning view from balcony. Excellent breakfast of Dutch pancakes. Our host Kees was extremely proactive and helpful during a medical emergency. Loved sleeping in a tent with night sounds.”
- DanielNetherlands“Kees - the owner - somehow managed to create one of the cleanest and most comfortable stay, in tents that we experienced in CR. The farm is green and close to nature - with it's own river and also a waterfall close to it. We only spent 1 night...”
