Amazing stay at TrailsEnd. Perfect for a group.
Great pump track and trails! Better signage on mtn bike trails would be helpful! Lots of love and effort going into the trails here.
We had a wonderful time. The staff is friendly and helpful. The trail's are well marked and the scenery beautiful! Comfortable beds and good room layout. Delicious food and wine were served for the duration of our stay. We will certainly go back!
I had a wonderful stay hiking and mountain biking with Peter, Brenda and the team at Trails End. They offer a comfy and relaxing base for outdoor adventures land it’s close to outstanding vineyards and local markets. Their wellness program, including the Pilates and yoga classes were a great addition to the stay. Highly recommend!!
Tolle Unterkunft! Blitzsauber und sehr nettes Personal! Wir haben in unserer Konstellation mit Baby die Einrichtung zwar nicht voll ausgenutzt (kein Biken, aber für die, die es können - top!), aber haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut.
This was a last minute booking and we are not disappointed. Its great for families and lots of activities for the kids. The staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back. 😊
Great concept. New, clean, and delightful place. Close to trails, and has all the amenities required. The in room air conditioning was a huge relief from the heat.
