All units come with a balcony, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and a private bathroom with shower. A toaster, a fridge and stovetop are also offered, as well as a coffee machine. At the homestay, the units have bed linen and towels. The Bamboo House is absolutely stunning, and so relaxing. Not only do you have a beautiful room (with walk-in wardrobe, lovely bathroom) and a private balcony, you also have full (shared) use of downstairs areas to relax in - a lounge, huge kitchen, and an amazing outdoor space that is unreal. I just couldn’t believe how beautiful The Bamboo House is. I really wished I had booked longer!
