new year in KG

Family of 5, with three teenage daughters travelled to Slovenia for New Year 2007. KG great location, not too far from the airport. Finding the property in the resort was a bit problematic as the driver didn't know the town and the ground floor of the apartment was then an unfinished shop unit. But thankfully we were not put off as the apartment itself was fabulous. Brand new furniture, fixtures and fittings (most from Ikea), the flat was comfortable, clean and warm. the kitchen is small but very well equipped for the breakfasts and occasional evening meals we ate there. the lounge area is a little small for five adults, but again, we didn't go on a ski holiday to sit in and watch the TV! DVD player also included so you can take discs if you like to watch TV to relax.
Great location from town, a five minute walk to the main street with bars and restaurants, and only two minutes from a well stocked supermarket and bakery. the slopes are only a couple of minutes further on from the main street, with button and chair lifts. A very nice pizza place literally just on the other side of the street. We're only beginners, so the slopes were perfectly adequate for us. New Years Eve was a riot, lots of locals arrived for the event, and there was a huge party in the main square, although the local tradition appeared to be throwing bottles at each other (all in good humour!). You will need to book a restaurant for NYEve though, because the influx of local tourists means they are all fully booked.Loads of fireworks too, which we watched from the little balcony off the main bedroom and through the skylights in the roof. Skiing on New Years Day was a dream though, with next to no-one on the slopes.
We had a small drama with a twisted ankle, but the team on the slopes was very quick to attend and organise a taxi to the hospital which is only about 20 mins away. We had a very short waiting time in a very clean casualty department, and were dealt with by english speaking staff, although we did come home with a pair of Slovenian crutches.
We would definitely recommended this property and this resort to anyone - lovely accommodation in a very beautiful village.
