Loved it there!


Had everything a person needed for a short stay! Very quiet there, no traffic, no aeroplanes etc. I won't hesitate to go there again!

Amazing time


My friends and I had an amazing time, it was relaxing and exhilarating at the same time... I would recommend Otters Haunt to anyone who enjoys nature and something a little different...
