Positive: The location was one of the best parts of our stay. It was peaceful, private, and surrounded by stunning views, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved how secluded it felt and enjoyed waking up to the sound of birds each morning. Some of our favourite things were the outdoor bath and shower, the thoughtful treats left for us including kombucha, fresh eggs, a baguette and butter, and the exceptionally comfortable bed. The room was spotless and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.
Negative: Everything was amazing !
Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at the Delightful Dolphin Lodge.

Positive: An incredible stay, we wish we stayed longer than the 1 night! Everything was perfect - the scenery, the garden, nice hot water in the outdoor shower, beautiful views all throughout. The nicest composting toilet I’ve ever come across! Hollie and Ad left a lovely welcome sign, some goodies for breakfast (fresh bread, eggs, milk & fruit). Plenty of blankets, a heater, extra towels, candles, mozzie coils, body wash/shampoo/conditioner. They thought of everything! The birds flying about outside your window was lovely too. Fantastic value for money. If you can, book 2+ nights here, you won’t regret it!
Summary: Wish we stayed longer!
