    In the nature and with the nature! They do incredible work with the local community. The food was good, they always offered me gluten-free options. And the cabin was super-clean.

    We were a family with two children aged 11 and 12 and stayed in the bungalow, which was perfect as the children could have their own room. We also took part in the activities, the village and waterfall walk and a trek in the Knuckles which were...

Our dream to re-forest the dwindling forest cover in our neighborhood will soon be a reality with sufficient funds now available - by staying with us, you will contribute to this cause.
80% of our staff-members are from the local village and they make me (owner) proud! See how they explain all the different spice and fruit trees and take you into their village houses on the way to the water-fall for a swim that will surely remind you of a Tarzan film.
Their doors are always open
