Mantra - accommodation in Diwan

When we booked the “Secluded Cottage” we expected a rustic ageing house with primitive facilities where we would have to rough it with limited power and no internet. How wrong we were. It was amazing. Set deep in the rainforest, it had all the facilities you would want and more. Beautifully fitted out and well maintained. Even now has Starlink so internet was as good as at home. Just wonderful, fantastic, very relaxing, one runs out of superlatives. Easy to find with Kaylene’s instructions. Near perfect, just two disappointments – no Cassowary came out of the forest to parade on the lawn (although we did see one on the Cape Trib road) and we had only stayed for two days and should have booked for longer.

Excellent ‘rainforest’ experience. Lodges right on the edge of the rainforest, surrounded by lush plant. Lodges neat, tidy and clean. Cooper’s Creek swimming holes amazing, absolutely natural creek running through thick rainforest on the property with quick, easy access; swimming morning and night in the creek was the highlight of the stay. Dinner delicious, a la carte menu and although not cheap the portions were enormous! Continental breakfast included and tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Great stay, highly recommend.

You are elevated off the forest floor and are in private cabins that are connected via walkways. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and things to do!
