Good size cottage, beautiful view and relaxing stay overall. Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Hot water available. What we didnt like was that the food was bit hit and miss- we ordered same dinner on both nights and the first night the dinner was excellent but on the second night it was made totally different and not eatable. Also there was an ongoing construction noise which was a little bit annoying.

The accommodation is in the middle of the nature and offers great viewing possibilities for monkeys, birds, various insects and more. It is quiet, rooms are spacious, food is delicious. Brenda did a good job and was ready to help every time. Keep in mind, it's a community location. You need a torch to walk in the dark. Some small suggestions: small towel in the room and soap to wash your hands
