AMAZING LOCATION

"The cabins are set in an incredible location, with the water on one side and the jungle on the other. They have been beautifully made with love and a great deal of hard labor, and you can see this all around, not just in the cabins themselves but also in the communal dining and relaxing areas (the woodwork is so impressive)."

ACCOMODATIONS

The cabins are constructed using locally sourced materials, including wood and bamboo, ensuring they are eco-friendly and sustainable. Each cabin has a private bathroom, fan and comfortable beds. The interiors are decorated with local art and handcrafted furniture, adding to the authentic feel. Cabins typically have private balconies or terraces with seating areas, perfect for birdwatching, relaxing, or enjoying the serene sounds of nature.
