This hotel makes perfect sense for the family or long stay holiday."

"This accommodation is unique due to its remote and unspoiled coastal location. The rooms are in fact round thatched one-room houses similar to the ones in which people live in the area surrounding the reserve.

Relaxing, plenty to do and see - from walks in the forest with countless birds and the most amazing array of butterflies; mountain biking, canoeing / rafting across the Mbashee River and in the lagoon, walking on the beach (completely to ourselves on some days). The coastal wildlife was phenomenal.

The hotel is great; special moments include Sylvia's welcome, and the discovery of a real coffee grinding / making / cappuccino machine. Food good and plentiful, and some great wines available from the bar. Our room was a rustic rondavel, that adds to the charm of the place - concrete floors, big baths and the odd gecko.
