Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Wow - what a wonderful place! Can't recommend more highly. We were two hungry, hot cyclists arriving very tired. The owner - lovely Madu - is so kind, helpful and always cheerful. The place is beautifully designed with plants everywhere and all kept neat and tidy. Madu made a fabulous dinner for us (we're both vegetarian as were two other guests there - not a problem for Madu at all), arranged a safari and was up early to make breakfast when we left. An absolute gem of a place ticked away from the main road so peaceful and quiet.
Negative: Absolutely nothing.
Summary: A gem of a place in
