Calming, relaxing, spotlessly clean and so well equipped with everything you could ever need for a relaxing few days away. Super comfortable, a quiet location - a true escape from reality.

We stayed in Libelle lodge for a little ‘minimoon’ break after we got married. We were blown away when we arrived at the beautiful interior and stunning lake views. Fantastic hot tub and little snug areas around the lodge to relax and cosy up. We didn’t even leave the lodge that much in the end we enjoyed it so much! Would love to visit again.
