The location was superb. Situated near the "unofficial" entry called either P3 or the "Auxiliary Flora Entrance". It's unofficial because the website doesn't list P3 but in any case Etno Garden Apartments is about a 5 min walk to this entry. No tickets are sold here. Just a hut that is manned starting at 7am to check your tickets. You will need to buy them online (recommended) or go to Entrance 1 or 2 and buy them there. Having them in advance though is key then you can just walk from Etno to get into the park. No need to deal with driving/parking. Last photo of map, I've circled P3 entry near Etno in red. Once through the checkpoint you walk down to the boat landing where you can catch one of the ferries to go to other parts of the park. I'd recommend uploading the Plitvice Mobile app (green background with a bear outlined in white) as it lays out different walking programs as well as info about the park and a good map. It's also easy to walk from Etno to the trails that are outside of the park but run along the top ridge. They offer great views during an early morning or evening walk. The other very surprising thing we found was their restaurant. We were not anticipating that we'd be able to find a decent meal due to the remoteness of the lake park. However Etno actually offered a great restaurant/menu selection with super friendly servers/service. We were there 3 days/two nights and ate every meal at the restaurant because it was not just convenient but delicious. The check in was great and easy. We arrived a bit early for check in but that was not a problem. Our apartments were ready (we were two couples, renting 2 apartments next door to each other) and the young guy that checked us in could not have been nicer. Also offering us good suggestions on how to tour the park. The staff continued to be attentive during our whole visit.

It was a short walk down to the park entrance and ticket office. The staff was super efficient, friendly, and patient with the guests. The rooms and beds were comfortable, especially if you remember to pull the drapes to block the sun during the day. They have a driver to take you to the nearby restaurant. The included breakfast buffet is pretty impressive .

We had a great stay! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place was very clean and cozy — perfect for relaxing after a walk around Plitvice lakes. There were plenty of activities to enjoy, which made our time there even more fun. We’d definitely love to come back!

A cozy and friendly place run by a very nice family. It was highly above our expectations. The room&bathroom was very clean and exactly as in the photos. Breakfast (10€/person) and dinner (20-25€/person) was delicious, it is highly recommended to eat here. Thank you.😊

Beautiful property! Quiet and scenic. We had a wonderful stay here! It was perfect after a long day at the National Park. Blanka was very helpful and friendly. She was always quick to respond.

Very close to Entrance 2 of the National Park of Plitvice. Nice swimming pool area and playground for younger children. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. The room was great.

Great hospitality. The hotel staff are very polite and helpful.  The breakfast is very good with many options. We stayed here for 2 nights and would have loved to stay longer. 

Good position only 10 km away from the national park. Nice log-cabin like room surrounded by forest and creeks. High-quality breakfast and dinner.
