## Our read

The water is the reason to come, and the water is in view, not down the road.

## Come here for

- Bathing culture over treatment menus
- Wildlife and landscape first, comfort second
- Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
- Swimming, paddling or simply staring at water

## Skip it if

- Early starts and long drives are not your idea of rest
