Rijk's Country House Review
This top-notch lodge is on the outskirts of the village, on a ridge overlooking a lake where you can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Each suite, decorated in a modern Cape-cottage style, has a private terrace leading to the poolside garden. High ceilings, good quality linen, and original art in each room contribute to the luxe atmosphere. Cottages across the river have two rooms that are great for families. There are nice touches such as DVD players in the family suites, so it's one less thing you'll need to pack.
