Swim in a 15 m outdoor pool, lounge on sunbeds and fire up poolside BBQs. Stay active on the half-size basketball court or hit the table tennis and pool table in the common lounge. There’s a library, picnic and BBQ areas, a garden outlook, tour/ticket assistance, a convenience store for basics and free self parking.

A business centre is on site and wired high-speed internet is available (surcharge). Dry cleaning, laundry facilities and free self parking make longer or work-focused stays easier.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café keep mornings and coffees covered. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee, and the convenience store stocks basics for self-catering. Expect local flavours on the menu alongside grab-and-go options.
