這家旅店是為觀看極光而設立的,條件相對簡陋,有廚房可以自己做飯,但必須帶好食材,幸運👍的是我們在此看到了北極光的大爆發,美不勝收,用手機上的夜間模式與延續攝影,拍攝了極佳的極光照片。氣象條件是決定能否看見北極光的關鍵因素。鄰近海灣,位於高地,四周空曠,觀賞極光的好地方。

We had the cabin and it was AMAZING! Just a cozy, wood cabin vibe. Three rooms so lots of options for our group (I think there were 8 beds total). The kitchen space was a bit small but had everything we needed. The host who greeted us was the best. We are not sure his name, but serious appreciation to him. The property is a working farm close to a beach and the Elephant Rock formation. 10/10 would recommend!

We absolutely loved the location and the manager was extra nice. However, the cabin was not very clean and there was mold in every corner of the cabin. The sheets and towels were clean!

Loved staying here. Very peaceful and quiet with great walking paths around it. It is a bit of a drive off the highway but you are rewarded at the end for sure!

Cottages were amazing for our family. Kitchen was equipped with all the required utensils. We went with cottage because we wanted the private bathrooms. There were 8 beds in the cottage, they did give 4 bed sheets. We had to put them on whatever beds we choose to sleep on. :) Unfortunately there was no shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. We didn't get any notification that it won't be there. This place was amazing and surrounded with lambs, horses and birds. would recommend to any one.

One night stay to remember. We had read the reviews so knew that it was a considerable drive/trek along a gravel road . We arrived late evening and the weather wasn’t the best . However, the view that we woke up to made it all worthwhile ( see photos). The sunrise over the sea/mountains was spectacular. It was low season ( end of October) so we had the place to ourselves - beds were comfortable and we had the upstairs bathroom and kitchen to ourselves . Host was helpful and friendly. Would consider returning just for the views . A lovely walk along the beach was

Dirty and unsanitary. There was no soap in the bathrooms / toilet so only those people who took soap with them could properly wash their hands after going to the loo. There are 2 kitchens, one ground floor, one second. The fridge on the ground floor was dirty and the freezer positively disgusting. I used the one on the top floor which was also dirty but less so. I was sick and had the trots 36 hours after staying here, although not conclusive, I suspect that it was due to infection from other guests touching handles and surfaces after going to the toilet and not being able to wash their hands. Apparently, there were 22 guests staying that night. However, there are only 2 bathrooms on the ground floor, 1 on the first floor and none at all on the second floor. That isn't enough. There were long queues to go to the bathroom. The room was hot but you could only partially open the tiniest of windows. Now to the noise. I'm in my 60s and can say that this is the worst soundproofed place that I have ever stayed in in my life. The building shook as people walked around and it had the acoustics of a guitar. Also, half of the light bulbs didn't work. The only positives were its ideal location for visiting the rock, especially if you want to do night or dawn photography. Could see a distant colony of seals from the bedroom window.

My family especially likes the beach behind our cabin with seals on the other side. And we could walk to the famous rock in 20 minutes and come back in 10 minutes. The cabin is big. Only drawback is no cooking oil or salt/sugar in the Kitchenette, but the staff was very nice , he borrowed us his salt so we could be able to make some simple breakfast
