Owner Oliver and his family are the heart of the place. Guests describe them as warm, helpful and always ready to assist, from local tips to taking guests to nearby places. The family also runs its own boats, so backwater boating is right on your doorstep.

The family prepares delicious home-made breakfast and, on request, dinner, which guests say is tasty, fresh and generous. There is also an option to cook and plenty of places to eat on the highway.
