A great place if you’re open to cooking some food yourself. Yes, the dinner options are basically non-existent, but that really doesn’t matter if you’re open minded and willing to do something yourself. My partner and I walked for 8 hours and were exhausted when we arrived, but we still decided to get some food from the shop across the road (very nearby!!) and cook. It ended up being a lovely way to end the day which also surprised us. We sat atop our container-home and looked to the mountains as we ate our food. The room has everything you need other than knives and maybe more options for plates, but it’s doable. Everything is compact but that’s part of the charm, and it’s really quite incredible how they organise the entire room. The only issues we encountered were the lack of knives (only one chef’s knife, no normal knives for spreading butter etc), and the plates, but no other issues. The lack of staff to talk to face to face can be a bit of a shock to people, but it’s all about your own attitude to trying it out, as this isn’t a hotel where you can get anything you want just by asking. You can ask, but it’s all done via a couple of iPads. Just be prepared and keep an open mind. If you do that, this might be one of the most comfortable and personal stays you’ll have.

這個酒店是無人值守的，要自己在門崗網上check in. 這個過程耗費了一些時間，餘下就都是驚喜了。房間非常乾淨整潔，冰箱裏準備了豐盛的晚餐和第二天的早餐，當然也是自助，需要自己動手烹飪，兩個娃分別烤了一個披薩，成就感滿滿。另外很棒的是，店主準備了一整套的手沖器具，可以自己沖出美味的咖啡。

非常驚喜，房間佈局相當好，還有洗衣機，並帶甩幹功能，樓頂休閑、視野很贊。特別是晚餐，相當給力，牛肉很好，菜量很大，三人吃不完，還有冰淇淋。值得再去。
