Loved the beautiful landscaped garden , the hosts immediately made me feel at home offering me beverages on arrival. We had a nice chat together. The bed was comfy . I slept so well and the bathroom was just across the corridor. Jasmine made me a lovely dinner with a fabulous Tiramisu for desert. There was plenty of supplies for breakfast . It was the perfect place to rest up after travelling and the airport was close by. Thanks so much Jasmine and Paul.

Wacky Stays is a tranquil retreat offering six unique, self-contained lodging options that promise an unforgettable experience. Choose from a handcrafted colonial wagon, a charming house truck, a traditional Mongolian yurt, a cozy tipi tent, a historic train carriage, or a quaint two-bedroom farmer's cottage. Each accommodation boasts a fully fenced outdoor space. The accommodations are thoughtfully furnished with meticulous attention to detail, making them the perfect setting for family adventures. Our stay at Wacky Stays exceeded our expectations. The covered wagon is just great. We were totally thrilled. The small kitchen in the covered wagon with kettle, crockery and sink is very well equipped for a small breakfast. The outdoor kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. We had a barbecue on New Year's Eve and cooked roast potatoes the next evening. The shower and toilet in the covered wagon offer a lot of luxury for a covered wagon. Our children slept in the small caravan next to it. That was also an experience for the children. Everything was spotlessly clean and the towels smelled freshly laundered. We received a warm welcome and fresh eggs from their own hens. Feeding the animals was a great experience and the young women (work & travel) showed us around and we were also allowed to feed the animals. If you are looking for an unusual place to stay, Wacky Stays is the right place for you. We would book a stay again at any time if the journey from Germany wasn't so far.
