Fantastic stay. Lucian and his team are so kind and helped us by organizing a couple of activities (hike, village tour, waterfall, coffee experience). All of them were super nice but special mention to the village tour/hike : a superb opportunity...

I loved the homey feel of the whole place. I was greeted and made to feel at home as soon as my Tuk Tuk pulled up outside the driveway. I loved the quiet and the local nature of the place.

We had the most relaxing two nights at the cottage. Lucian was the most attentive host. The food was delicious and the hike and swim at the waterfall were magical. Loved it and would love to return for a longer period to further explore the area.

The guesthouse is set-up as a community-based initiative. This to make sure the surrounding villagers will benefit from tourism. Pepper, which is largely available in the gardens, is harvested by different neighbours who maintain the pepper fields and keeping a large part of the profit. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be ordered or eaten at other neighbours houses. You can go on village-walks with the neighbours who will be more than happy to show you around their area! All large and small renovations, as well as maintenance in and around the property, again will be taken care of by contracting people from the area. The Pepper Cottage has a spacious living room / pantry and a wide kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and some extra sleeping possibilities if necessary. The front of the building has a small veranda with a lovely bench and on the eastside a spacious terrace overlooking the surroundings, with a clear view of the Victoria Lake. The house is surrounded by a lush green garden and a small estate where mainly pepper and other small crops are growing, which offers nice opportunities for calm walks along its borders and to sit, relax, meditate or practise yoga.
The house is located in a village where many people helped build the property and continue to help it run to this day. The farmers in the area look after the land and reap the benefits from it. You can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner from the neighbours' houses or even eat there! The surrounding area is full of hikes, walks, beautiful scenery, and, of course, waterfalls!
