“Remote location and poor choice of amenities in the locality. Getting to the location was tricky.”
Breakfast menu was very limited and what was on it was just average. No percolated coffee just instant coffee with sometimes tepid water on the side.

“An absolutely beautiful few days spent here. We felt completely at home, the staff here are just the best. Our 8 year ol”
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful location, the restaurant built onto the ancient Baobab tree was awesome! The nearby beach is breathtaking. Couldn’t be happier with it stay here, the staff really made us feel like we at home. Eric the owner was super helpful too, providing us with a driver for the day and a contract for a day safari. Would love to return one day

Beautiful boutique hotel - I loved everything about this stay - the best of both worlds with nature and beach. the staff were very kind and helpful, and it was very unique to have meals in a baobab tree. It is a fantastic escape for those looking to avoid the major touristy areas in favour of a more relaxed stay without compromising the beauty of your surroundings and quality of service.

“Everything great as you’d expect but the staff really make the stay”
The location just past the village and a short walk to an unbelievable beach is quite something in its own right. Then the swimming pool, rooms, food and excursions give you everything you could want for but the thing that makes this place really special is the staff. Getting to know you, making you feel at home and literally nothing is too much to ask, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.
