Such a quiet, clean and peaceful place to stay. Spacious inside with a sufficiently stocked kitchen. Loved the covered porch. Great view. Great communication with owner.
This was an amazing place to stay! I loved being away from the crowds. The property and views were unbelievable. The cottage was excellent and well equipped to make our stay comfortable and peaceful

Excellent stay at Franz Josef
Lovely container unit that was beautifully set up. View was wonderful.
Beautiful views. Slightly out of town while still being very close. Well presented accommodation that was very warm and clean. We hope to stay again some time.

Lovely and clean unit, handy to the township. Good clear communication from host. Would be helpful if one of the photos or the description revealed that this cottage is only 20 metres from the main road. I had expected it to be more secluded and quieter.
