A bit of a fantasy really. I love the unknown and this is what I experienced. I was attracted to the visuals of the accommodation and travelers comments and was not disappointed. Cyril and Julia are the perfect hosts, opening up their home with truely open arms. Julia is the sweetest young lady you could ever meet. Julia's thoughtfulness made... More

This is a very cute guest house type place with a few rooms and welcoming and helpful staff. Nothing fancy, but nice atmosphere. Only complaint is the distance from town and that the cab rides were a bit pricey. Food was good, pool is cute.

Before we knew it we were sitting with Cyril, his neighbour Edward and some other guests enjoying a few cold beers and a good talk about life, while the kids were playing in the lovely pool... More

We had a spacious room with a private shower that had plants all over so you feel like standing in the rain in the middle of a rain forrest. The atmosphere at the secret... More

We live locally so didn't stay overnight. We spent the afternoon/evening of Fathers Day there and had very enjoyable meals, ice cold beer, and really enjoyed Cyril and Julia's company and hospitality. The meals we had came with a salad and pasta dish to accompany them; very tasty! The whole property is designed and decorated in a very natural style... More

Found this place on Trip Advisor, thought it was a good idea to get her first since you get picked up on the airport. An exciting jungle vibe strikes you as soon as you get through the door.
