Reviewed Jun 17, 2026The units are very comfortable, clean and extremely peaceful. The hosts were friendly and met us on arrival. I would recommend this accommodation. Two things to be aware of is the 1.4km gravel road to reach the place (which was not a problem for us) and the fact that the turn off road to the lodge is on a corner of the main road and quite easily missed.
The signage for the turn off, although I understand the lodge is awaiting the various approvals required for the main road signage.

Reviewed Dec 8, 2025The location is fantastic, you are well nestled in the forest and the only thing you hear is running water and the forest. The units are well equipped, and had everything we needed.
We got lost onto a different road which was extremely bad. It effectively took 2 hours out of our time to eventually get on the right track. The host is aware that there is an issue with Waze sending people out the wrong route, and I felt she could have been proactive and gave a warning to waze users so they don't find themselves in that mess - especially guests like us who traveled in a low car. The other issue was the fact it was so hot and the aircon was not working. Not sure of it was the humidity or maneuvering the lost trail in the peak of direct sunlight which caused us to feel hot, but the lack of air conditioning was I think I big health risk as we were sweating. I raised it with the host, who promptly provided us with a fan which was of great use. Again, I felt she could have been alot more proactive to have had the fan there. The idea was to always leave for dinner, we didn't stay much during the late afternoon so was unsure how long the heat persisted for. By the time we came back later that evening, it was alot cooler. For such a beautiful place, I am sad we could not experience it longer. Besides my criticism, I would advocate for a bigger signage as it is easy to miss the current one.
