Beautiful cottage. We loved the waterfall view and comfortable beds. We waited for the host at the registration property at least twenty minutes after the 4pm check in time and nearly missed our glacier lagoon tour. I recommend they move to a contactless check in since the only thing they do is give you the key box code.

Beautiful magical property. Everything was 10 stars except for the fact that we were woken up at 3am by chirping smoke alarm and then again half an hour later by the second one. The batteries were obviously not changed and it really put a dent into next day exploring as we were not rested.

Awesome stay with 2 beautiful waterfalls behind
The cottage was awesome! 2 beautiful waterfalls behind, the cottage had almost all amenities except dishwasher and laundry. We had a great stay and would love to stay again! The only thing i would request is to add a dishwasher if you can
