Our dream to re-forest the dwindling forest cover in our neighborhood will soon be a reality with sufficient funds now available - by staying with us, you will contribute to this cause.
80% of our staff-members are from the local village and they make me (owner) proud! See how they explain all the different spice and fruit trees and take you into their village houses on the way to the water-fall for a swim that will surely remind you of a Tarzan film.
Their doors are always open
