Great cottage in a great location. Perfect to unwind for a week. Living off-grid and managing the batteries with solar power was easy once we got the hang of it. Became a bit of a compulsion by the end of the week, to see how little electric we could use! Recommend this place to everyone, proper 4x4 needed for crossing the river if it has raineRead mored heavily. Hide
