Paradise
We had a wonderful holiday. Shooting star lodge is an oasis so peaceful and tranquil that we cannot help to relax and forget about all the cares in the world. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great. Our booking was problematic, because the site would not let us book one unit as a family of five. We fitted very comfortably into one cottage in the end but still ended up paying for both.
