Rooms are spacious and private. The rainforest on your doorstep is incredible. Town is only a short walk. Most people stay only a night so high level of turn over but great food (dinner and breakfast included), friendly staff.

Location is lovely. Few minutes walk into the small town but you feel like you’re in the rainforest with the rooms backing directly onto foliage. We had a twin Queen room and loved it. Spotlessly clean with amazing comfy beds and linen. Fab shower. Loved the bird song which was piped through the tv - lovely welcome. Dinner and breakfast included both of which were excellent quality although the choice was not that large for dinner. Few patrons (including us) commented about the slow service especially drinks at dinner but the staff were lovely.
