諾夫朱琦姆山林小屋(Nof Zuqim)

A wonderful 4 night stay at nof zuqim. So quiet and calm with immediate access to superb landscape for walking. The cabins are very well equipped and comfortable and clean. Ours had a spectacular view across the desert. We felt very relaxed after hectic sightseeing in jerusalem. The staff were very happy to help but low key which suited us well. The breakfasts were amazing. Delicious salads and omelettes. The breads were lovely too and back in the UK I am missing the quince preserve and especially the desert tea to which I became addicted. We bbqd one night which was lovely and a wood fire in the firepit kept us warm. Prem Ursula which is a few minutes away has terrific food for dinner. The wifi was a bit hit and miss but mainly ok. There are only two small points that could be better. The outdoor bins and empty bottles outside our cabin hadn't been emptied before we came and you don't really want to sit next to other people's rubbish. Also it would have been nice to have a couple of outdoor chairs that could have been moved into the sun on the terrace area as we were there in January and there was a cool wind and the balcony and unmovable chairs on it faced north.

Our room was super cute, with a well equipped kitchen, a private jacuzzi and even some lovely treats in it. The staff was really nice and helpful and we enjoyed the pool and breakfast a lot. We will definitely be returning when given a chance!

A great way to experience the desert. The rooms are unique and well equipped. The little pool was big fun for the kids and the playground was unique. We wanted to go on a bicycle ride but they were too big for one of our kids (7), so we went on foot :) The breakfast was yummy and very good vegan options.
