(Our swimming pool was last refurbished in May 2022.)

Can I use your swimming pool for the day?
Unfortunately, we only allow our guests with room reservations to use the swimming pool.
Is parking part of your free guest services at BBT Lodge?
Yes. We have free, secure, on-site parking available for our guests. Unfortunately, this is not a covered parking space at this stage.
Can trucks park at you place?
We have ample parking space. Therefore, we can accommodate trucks up to 10 meters long to park at our property.
Do you have parking suitable for motorbikes?
Although this is not something we specialize in, we do have a parking area that can accommodate up to 4 motorcycles.
Do you offer a laundry service?
We offer a full laundry service to our guests. We do the washing, drying and ironing in-house.
HOW DOES YOUR LAUNDRY WORK?
When you’d like us to do your laundry during your stay, all you need to do is fill out the Laundry Form that you can access via our in-house website. After you submitted the request, we’ll be notified by our system. We aim to return your clean clothes on the same day afternoon, but this also depends on the time you hand in your laundry and the weather conditions.
You may also find the terms and conditions of this service on our in-house website.
CAN YOU DO DRY-CLEANING?
We don’t have dry-cleaning facilities. Therefore, we send very delicate clothing to the nearest dry-cleaning store. We’ll advise you about the fees beforehand, so you can decide whether to go ahead with the service or not.
Do you have Spa facilities?
Unfortunately, we don’t have Spa facilities on our premises. Even so, we are affiliating with a mobile spa company called Amethyst Mobile Spa.
They offer a wide variety of treatments such as Swedish-, Aromatherapy -, Hot Stone massage, manicure and pedicure but to name a few.
