We stayed four nights to visit Plitvice. The premises are very well located 1km from entrance 3, a pleasant walk along the quiet road. There are other walks outside the park itself, which Daniela explains. We didn’t have a car, so we were picked up and dropped off from entrance 1 where we got our bus connections, by prearrangement, which was very convenient. We ate dinner and breakfast and used the lunch bags provided- we were never hungry!
There is no communal lounge so you spend time in your room after dinner; this did not worry us. There are numerous lovely places to sit in the garden with country views (but for us in October that wasn’t a option).
