    The room had thick, luxurious carpet and a comfy bed that was clean and well-equipped. I enjoyed a good chat with the delightful couple who run the place, and the peaceful ambiance made for a delightful retreat away from tourist chaos. waking up to birdsong was a treat.

    The air conditioning was positioned directly above the bed, causing dry throat discomfort during the night. A couple of minor points—there were privacy concerns due to a lack of curtains in some areas, and the blinds let morning light flood in, which could be an annoyance for late sleepers. While there was no laundry service on-site, a nearby laundromat was available, which might be inconvenient for longer stays.

    inconvenience

    One simple answer, yes or no?

    The hospitality from Mark and Paula was truly exceptional! They made sure we felt welcome and the complimentary drinks were a delightful surprise! The peaceful garden surroundings were a fantastic bonus! !

    While the nearby attractions were enjoyably accessible, public transport options were quite limited, making it inconvenient for travelers without a vehicle.

    cozy setup
    thoughtfully designed
    complementary milk
    too strong air-conditioning
    small bed

    During our short stay, we were delighted with the cozy setup of our room. The space was thoughtfully designed for accessibility, allowing us to move around easily. We loved being close to the charming Rainbow Falls, just a quick stroll away, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The complementary milk for our coffee was a nice touch that made us feel welcome and at home.

    Couples seeking a cozy retreat

    The hosts were incredibly friendly, offering us a jug of milk right when we arrived, such a nice touch. We loved lounging by the pool area surrounded by the lush gardens, it felt like a slice of paradise! !

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but honestly, worth it for the experience.

    comfortable cottage
    external noise
    disruption during night
    limited dining options

    Entering through the bamboo tree tunnel creates a magical atmosphere, complemented by the warm welcome from the staff and a complimentary beverage upon arrival. The cottage offered a well-equipped, clean space with exceptional air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay. Though I didn’t swim, the heated pool looked inviting, while freshly baked cookies and milk in the room added a delightful touch. Unfortunately, some external noise from nearby activities interrupted the tranquility during the night, detracting from an otherwise peaceful getaway.

    Amazing Hosts & Beautiful Environment

    My family and I had an unforgettable three-night stay in a Two-Bedroom Chalet. Everything felt like a home away from home, thanks to Mark and Paula, who welcomed us with warmth and a refreshing drink upon our arrival. The chalet was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed, including easy access to the beautiful pool surrounded by lush gardens. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to cook together. The only thing I wished for was a larger outdoor dining area to enjoy our family meals outside.

    The clean, spacious chalet paired with lovely gardens is perfect for relaxation. Mark's attention to detail made our stay memorable, and the saltwater pool was refreshing! Just a bit more outdoor dining space would be nice.
