We hadden de Borage Garden Suite geboekt, maar kregen een gratis upgrade naar de Lavender Cottage, een volledig huisje met maar liefst 2 slaapkamers. De suites/huisjes bevinden zich op een werkende boerderij en de familie/personeelsleden geven je graag een rondleiding. We hadden half pension geboekt en werden aangenaam verrast met een fine dining ervaring. Marene is niet alleen een fantastische gastvrouw, maar bovendien ook een geweldige kok. De gerechten hadden niet misstaan in een Michelin restaurant. Bedankt Marene voor de gastvrijheid en het heerlijk diner ! We komen zeker terug ! ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Taj Mahal Tower, Mumbai](https://www.expedia.ca/Mumbai-Hotels-Taj-Mahal-Tower.h1351876.Hotel-Information) > > [Croftinn & Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duncan-Hotels-Croftinn-Motel.h11237769.Hotel-Information) > > [Spark by Hilton Brockville](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockville-Hotels-Spark-By-Hilton-Brockville.h41402.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maldives-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d109-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Beach Hotel in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d44-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Aston Kaanapali Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahaina-Hotels-Aston-Kaanapali-Shores.h1284.Hotel-Information) > > [W New York - Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-W-New-York-Times-Square.h853497.Hotel-Information) > > [Park South Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Park-South-Hotel.h792443.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean El Faro Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Ocean-El-Faro-Resort-All-Inclusive.h27395552.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Fargo](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6059376-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tahoe City](https://www.expedia.ca/Tahoe-City-Hotels.d180041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo Kyobashi](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Sotetsu-Fresa-Inn-Tokyo-Kyobashi.h4718991.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Vito Lo Capo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels.d6023809.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Secrets St. James Montego Bay - Luxury - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Secrets-St-James-Montego-Bay-Luxury-Adults-Only.h3197063.Hotel-Information) > > [Coventry Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Coventry-Motor-Inn.h1236249.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Los-Angeles-At-Beverly-Hills.h300.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Prague (PRG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/prg/vancouver-to-prague) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/lhr/amsterdam-to-london) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yyz/montreal-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Tokyo (HND) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hnd/mnl/tokyo-to-manila) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Iasi (IAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ias/montreal-to-iasi) ### Cars > [Van Car Rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Santa María Huatulco](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Santa-Maria-Huatulco.d6051926.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Phoenix Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix.d178298.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bahamas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bahamas.d13.Destination-Travel-Guides)
