Top place for rest and enjoyment! The rooms are superbly decorated in wood style. We visited during the winter and it was more than hot in the rooms. Cute decoration and everything revolves around cats. Really worth a visit! Staff who are always at your service.

Everything I say it wouldn’t be enough to describe this amazing place in the very heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina. All facilities that you need are here, and surprisingly well equipped and maintained better than in the best worldwide centres. In the pub the best and rare drinks, that you would expected in big cities, the restaurant with genuine and so tasty local food and specialities that represent Bosnian cuisine, like you are eating at home but still fine dining service. The spa center with Turkish, Finnish sauna and cold room and again in the middle of Bosnia saltwater pool. Every single detail was in accordance with nature and tradition of Bosnia, from architecture, through gardens arrangements, to the food. Everyone so helpful, polite and professional. But what is the best they have such a great and huge soul and heart, that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. Thank you very much for making our holiday so special. Hope to see you again next year and wish you all the best.

Cool little eco/ethno village. The fish farm is incredible for the fact that it's the only hatchery I've ever been to that doesn't reek like fish. They keep constant, fresh flow of water from the river, so there's no smell, and the fish thrive.

I was on vacation in this place and i had a lot of fun. Very calm and clean place with good atmosphere. PUB is very modern one of the best in Bosnia, and also the food in the PUB is perfect, especially pizza. Small houses with very comfort bed with nice view. Also you have small poll, sauna etc.Staff team is 10/10...

I am in awe of this place because on a relatively small property, they provide a wonderful experience with a real attention to detail. People show up for the afternoon to enjoy the water park and eat at the restaurant but if you stay on the property you have access to more services and get real rest, including a second indoor pool and a balcony that has a small infinity pool and a clear view of the water park activities below. The bar is very lively in the evening and into the night with lots of well dressed youth coming here for a drink but most of what you will hear is the sound of running water due to the nearby river. The owners of this property clearly love beauty art and all things birds and cats and I could not resist the souvenir shop on the property where we purchased adorable art pieces for our kid’s and our nephew’s bedroom. I also don’t want to forget the staff who without any exceptions were wonderful.
