Whitewave is located in Monkstadt. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

Benbecula Airport is 84 km away. We liked the view from our room and we liked the kitchen a lot! It was clean and easy to whip up some meals. It saved us a lot of money instead of eating out (and actually not sure where to eat out really...).
