Our stay at the resort was truly delightful—the two-bedroom family cottage was spotless and offered stunning views of the lake, making it feel like a little escape. The beds were super comfy, ensuring we got great sleeps. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. While the dining experience was enjoyable, a larger breakfast selection would have been a nice touch. Overall, it felt like excellent value for money.

While the park has beautiful and well-maintained grounds, the customer service experience left a lot to be desired. I faced an unpleasant check-in process that dampened my overall impression. However, the amenities, including the camp kitchen and clean bathrooms, were commendable, making it a decent spot for a stay despite some issues with reception. I wouldn't recommend this park due to the unfriendly service.

The powered site we stayed on wasn't perfectly level, but it was still better than many others I've encountered at various parks. I would rate the space at a 7 due to the uneven ground.

I recently spent a night at this resort and found it to be a wonderful getaway, with spacious and comfortable accommodations overlooking a scenic lake. The friendly geese and ducks added to the charm. The only downside was that the restaurant wasn’t open during my stay, which I would have loved to try. Overall, it's a great place to unwind and explore the surrounding area.

I had a wonderful stay at Hahndorf Resort, serving as an excellent base to explore the scenic Hahndorf and Hills region. The room was spacious and comfortable, with lovely views of the lake and friendly wildlife around. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed during my stay, which was a letdown. Overall, I would definitely return for another visit, hopefully for a longer duration and when the restaurant is open.

We had an incredible stay in Hahndorf, with amazing facilities and a perfect location. The bustling Main Street had everything we could possibly need, making our four-night stay quite enjoyable. However, the pool was a little too cold for my liking, which was a slight downside. Overall, this resort provided great value for our money with plenty of activities and a welcoming atmosphere.
