    The lodge is transformed from an old convent. It is beautiful to see the common areas and how they preserved the history of the place. Very unique. Kim was really nice upon check in and left us a box of chocolate for our honeymoon! Recommend!

    We stayed the first night in the rail carriage and second night in one of the main rooms in the lodge. Both rooms are nice. Rail Carriage is very private and a bit of a walk from the main building. The toilet is bit small (its a train!). We liked...
